Tawai: A Voice from the Forest (2017)
The Penan of Borneo are amongst the last of the hunter gatherers who still live a nomadic existence, flowing with the rhythms of nature, carrying all that they own on their backs. They were the last group Bruce Parry visited in the making of the BBC TV series, Tribe, and his time with them affected him deeply. Ten years on he returns to see how they are doing and to learn about finding a more balanced way to relate to each other and with the natural world.
