Félix Lajeunesse, Paul Raphaël return to the Festival (Herders, 2015 Sundance Film Festival) with two more episodes of their powerful, live-action ethnographic series, Nomads, which takes you inside the day-to-day life of endangered human cultures. Witness the Maasai tribe’s living heritage in the village of Enkutoto, Kenya, through repeated walkabout visuals in the Great Rift Valley. Watch jumping-dance competitions, the men’s unmatched hunting abilities and the women’s skills in building mud houses, long-distance water collection, and bead artwork.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications.
