Journey to the origins (Full Documentary)

Hamidu Omar, a Mauritanian who now lives in Europe, belongs to the Peul ethnic group as the pastoralists that are spread across and throughout West Africa. On a trip to Niger, Hamidu fulfills one of his dreams: meet the Bororo community, with which it shares a distant relationship. They are the last truly nomadic Peul who retain their own cultural universe in which the party Gerewol enrolls. Joining them, Hamidu starts a journey into the country and to his own origins.

It would be nice to have a Fulani narrator or someone of Fulani descent who actually knows the culture from the inside.

I am a Somalian currently living in Canada, I could not believe how my Somali way of life and traditions are so close to those nomadic tribes i just watched. In Every way of life even the landscape, the animals, the trees and the grass are the same. Even our physical appearance is the same. Both of our people live under the sky and on barren land with their animals but these days because of the climate change people are flocking to the cities after the animals die because of the droughts. I really enjoyed. Thanks for educating me.

This documentary is one that constantly uses back handed compliment throughout the whole thing... it starts off saying that the city has modern buildings like no where in Africa has modern buildings... it gets worst from there... the men are described as effeminate, it's shocking that the women have rights etc... what would be a very good film turns into a rude and stereotype ridden waste... very eurocenyric and annoying

Beautiful people, Beautiful documentary. I hope, their traditions will never die. We need healthy traditions in this struggling Plastik world!

I like to thank those responsible for this video, I totally enjoyed it. I find my self in love with being of African ancestry, the beautiful women and children, to see their humility warms my heart, something was loss when we were separated from our home. I hope and pray for things to change in that women will be less burdened by work, I have been married 41 yrs, I share all work with my wife, how else can I show her my love, I hope this part of our tradition is loss.

The narration in this documentary is too judgmental. Learn how to respect cultures you portray.
