I ENJOYED THE VIDEO AND ITS GOOD TO SEE OLD TECKNIQUES REDISCOVERED BY CIVILIZED MAN, OF COURSE IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD THESE TECKNIQUES NEVER WERE LOST IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT I JUST WATCHED A FILM WITH SOME IMPRESSIVE SHOOTING BY A YOUNG AFRICAN BOY. THE DVD WAS OF A MOVIE MADE AROUND 1950. THE EXPEDITION WAS SPONSORED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE MUSEUM OF MAN AND WAS TO FILM MANY OF THE NATIVE GROUPS BEFORE ALL THE OLD WAYS WERE LOST. THE NAME OF THE MOVIE WAS " CONGOLAISE" AND FEATURED ROBERT ST. JOHN AND ROY MORGAN. I FOUND A COPY ON DVD ON EBAY BUT IT MAY BE ON THE NET AS THE MOVIE IS IN PUBLIC DOMAIN. LOTS OF INTERESTING SHOTS THOUGH THE NARRATION IS A BIT CORNY.
