    《非常部族》是由曾拍攝紀錄片《部族》(The Tribe),並榮獲獎項的團隊負責製作。他們深入與世無爭的班吉拉部族,以真實方式呈現他們的傳統生活方式。班吉拉部族屬於當地俾格米族人,以狩獵及採摘為生。紀錄片將以Livia Simoka非常獨特的女性角度,紀錄與他們一起生活五個月的旅程。

     

    班吉拉部族所聚居的地置極為偏僻,幾乎完全與世隔絕,不過Livia與寄宿家庭關係非常緊密,待她如家人一般,與她分享喪女之痛,並帶她觀察部族女性的傳統習俗,讓她全情投入班吉拉族人的日常生活。

     

    傳統上,俾格米人被視為平等主義者,女性與男性的地位基本上平等。但是,隨著Livia深入認識他們一夫多妻制等習俗,她發現家庭暴力同樣存在,男性亦擁有支配性的地位。數個月間,Livia學習班吉拉族人在熱帶雨林的獨特生活方式,並認識其最大的威脅——敵對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.
