Kate isn’t the real post partum heroine this week?

I’m just catching up on My Year with the Tribe on BBC iPlayer and literally have a dropped jaw at the amazing hardcore woman who gave birth overnight totally on her own, cut the umbilical cord herself etc and then suddenly finds herself with an entire film crew pitching up filming her every move. It’s rainy season and she’s to stay in a wooden hut for 5 days on her own. Her DH says hes “not allowed” to touch babies until they’re like toddler age.

Makes Kate’s blow dry and 2 min pose on steps look completely lightweight.

Was she one of the tribe or just some woman who decided to have a baby in a hut without proper medical care

The two men who still lived in the jungle. The programme was dedicated to the memory of Halap so I'm worried about the other one, Haup, as he was in poor health and is now alone. He wasn't able to hunt so used to keep the fire going. Will had given him some medicine and vitamins.

It was so interesting, wasn’t it? The bit with the very high houses built for camera was high farce. Lots of issues around boundaries, giving and payments.
