Extreme Tribe: The Last Pygmies

[purpleme12]

Anyone watch? It's really good

I'm watching, these tribes fascinate me, I often wonder who has the better life, them or us!

Oh I missed this. Winder if it can be watched on iPlayer.

It's on 4od.

It's fascinating to see how they live.

The scene with the baby monkey clinging on was so sad.

Next week's looks a bit shocking

I had to turn off when they showed the baby monkey on its mum.
But I'm certain they found it another mummy monkey and it lived happily ever after. End of.

I'm much more of a wuss since my having my family and the monkey reminded me of my baby girl albeit a fair amount hairier.
Very good show though

Yes I found the baby sad, but, we'd eaten pork for dinner..............

Yes but it was the fact that it had a baby clinging on that made it particularly sad for me

I like these sorts of documentaties, but I found that the circumcision scene was really, really hard to watch.

I'm recording it but that post you just made has not made me keen to watch

I feel sorry the way the pygmy tribe are treated by the other lot who think they are inhuman.

I couldn't understand when that person said he owned a family. You can't own people

Probably just a phrase they use, purple, meaning obscured in translation.

I would have found the baby monkey difficult too.

It's a fascinating series and I'm enjoying learning about their culture.

They see the pygmies as lower than them. I think they own the land or think they do.

Me tooheulog

Very depressing at the end when you know the road is coming. Yes they may be able to sell more stuff but they will be royally ripped off and exploited, patronised and lose valuable hunting grounds and the prey will vanish deeper into whatever forest is left.

Worrying.

I just cried for that baby monkey :(
