Synopsis

Producer/director Cevin Soling made a perilous journey to Northern Uganda to learn whether anthropologist Colin Turnbull's 1972 assertion that the Ik were the "worst people in the world" was indeed true. The result is a powerful account of Soling and his team of cinematographers, audio technicians, guides, educators, interpreters, handlers and helpers, struggling through war-torn regions of deepest Africa. The trek includes tense encounters with armed highwaymen, wild animals and ultra-violent Ugandan rebels. Soling eventually finds the remote, hermitic tribe, and, in the end, lessons are learned and myths are shattered, on both sides.
