DESCRIPTION
The Mursi live a traditional life in the African bush in southern Ethiopia. Popular with photographers and tourists because of their lip plates and patterned skins, their lives are in transition and their simple pastoralist economy is giving way to a dependency on tourism and money. Behind this, they are a wonderful people who hold one of the true gems of African Architecture which may give clues as to how people built temporary shelters many thousands of years ago. We managed to spend two weeks in their community recording a hut being built and catching some other moments of their lives immersed in the beautiful yet sometimes harsh world of nature.
The huts are built from long branches taken fresh from a number of different shrubs found throughout the southern Omo region. These are bent to form a series of radial ribs which are reinforced with smaller curved arches, threaded with branched twigs and covered with a thick layer of thatch. Everything is held in place using an outer structure of split branches and bark rope.
This was filmed in 2013, and has only taken us seven years to finally produce an edited version.
