    《非常部族》是由曾拍摄纪录片《部族》(The Tribe),并荣获奖项的团队负责制作。他们深入与世无争的班吉拉部族,以真实方式呈现他们的传统生活方式。班吉拉部族属于当地俾格米族人,以狩猎及采摘为生。纪录片将以Livia Simoka非常独特的女性角度,纪录与他们一起生活五个月的旅程。

     

    班吉拉部族所聚居的地置极为偏僻,几乎完全与世隔绝,不过Livia与寄宿家庭关系非常紧密,待她如家人一般,与她分享丧女之痛,并带她观察部族女性的传统习俗,让她全情投入班吉拉族人的日常生活。

     

    传统上,俾格米人被视为平等主义者,女性与男性的地位基本上平等。但是,随着Livia深入认识他们一夫多妻制等习俗,她发现家庭暴力同样存在,男性亦拥有支配性的地位。数个月间,Livia学习班吉拉族人在热带雨林的独特生活方式,并认识其最大的威胁——敌对部族及新修建的公路。


    From the producers of the award-winning series The Tribe, the documentary series Extreme Tribe: The Last Pygmies provides a rare look into the lives of the remote Mbendjele tribe. Told from a unique female perspective, filmmaker Livia Simoka spends five months with this Pygmy community of hunter-gatherers living harmoniously within the jungle of the Republic of the Congo.

     

    Almost entirely cut off from the outside world and inaccessible by road, Livia is welcomed by a close-knit family who treat her as their own. She is fully immersed in their daily lives from sharing in unexpected tragedies to observing the significance of tribal traditions like female tooth sharpening.

     

    Traditionally the Pygmies are regarded as egalitarian, with women on a broadly equal footing with men, but as Livia gains insight into their common practices including polygamy, she reveals a darker truth where domestic violence and male domination is still prevalent. Over the months she learns of the Mbendjele’s unique ways of surviving in the isolated rainforest and also discovers threats to their way of life, both from hostile neighbours and a new road that is planned to be built through their land.
