INFORMATION FOR
Shooting with Mursi
Osisarali Olibui and Ben Young. 2009, 57 minutes. Ethiopia.
Deep in the heart of Ethiopia’s fertile Omo Valley, the Mursi are a nomadic people ruled by consensus and the wisdom of elders. Uprooting seasonally in order to graze their cattle and avoid the rainy season, they now find themselves encircled by three national parks, none of which they are allowed to enter. Tourism and recreational hunting threaten their culture with extinction. English-speaking tribal leader Olibui takes a digital camera among his people, capturing a candid portrayal of a people facing unwanted, inevitable change.
