SYNOPSIS
Researchers collect ancient fa- bles of the Daasanach tribe in Turkana, Kenya – the Cradle of Humankind – and find out that the tribe is the greatest threat to local nature. Their two worlds co- llide, revealing the value of wildlife and nature for both. It’s the story of the nomadic people’s struggle to survive, of poaching, and tribal wars over scarce resources and prehistoric fossils.
