Description
For hundreds of years, the Huli people of Papua New Guinea lived by their ancient customs, relying on tradition to govern all aspects of life. Then the white man came, threatening their unique culture. Stuck between ancestral values and an ever-changing modern world, they found themselves struggling to maintain their tribal identity. This documentary describes how the Huli try to cope with radical changes while clinging to their past. Bride price, one such historic practice, still persists. This involves the bridegroom's payment of a suitable price, usually 15 to 30 pigs, before a marriage can occur. Pigs are more important than women, explains one Huli. Today the government encourages the Huli to maintain their traditional customs to encourage a valuable tourist trade.
