Now considered a classic, this documentary shows the power of video as a tool of communication when appropriated by indigenous communities. Chief Waiwai, accompanied by a group of his fellow Waiapi Indians, takes a trip to meet the Zo'e, an isolated indigenous group whom the Waiwai previously knew only through video. The Zo'e, increasingly in touch with the outside world, are now experiencing the phenomena of contact that the Waiapi went through twenty years ago. By sharing their customs with their visitors, the Zo'e allow the Waiapi to reconnect with the wisdom of their ancestors. The Waiapi, in turn, use video footage to warn the Zo'e about the dangers of the white world.
