Synopsis:
For millions of years humans were hunter gatherers. They didn’t hunt for pleasure, they hunted for survival. They didn’t study their quarry, they understood it. They didn’t live off the natural world, they lived with it. There are only a few places in the world where this relationship still exists. Die-hard conservationist Hayden Turner’s goal is to find these places and learn from these hunters before their lifestyle and their knowledge disappears forever.
Former Zoo-keeper Hayden Turner heads to Vanuatu’s Tanna Island to learn about the Namal people’s hunting strategies. They hunt every creature on the island, whether it swims, crawls, runs or flies … and over the centuries the Namal have developed innovative ways to catch them all.
