Summary

The Nuba people are caught in the middle of Sudan's civil war between the northern Islamic Khartoum government and the southern Sudan People's Liberation Army rebel forces. The Khartoum government has systematically destroyed many of Nuba's villages and thousands of people have been rounded up and killed. This is a hidden war. No other film crews have been able to gain access to the Nuba Mountains. Filmmaker/anthropologist Hugo D'Aybaury managed to fly undetected into the area. He and his crew trekked with camels and on foot through the Nuba hills to capture on film the vitality and customs of a people forgotten by the Western world. This is a beautifully photographed record of the lifestyle of a proud people struggling to survive against overwhelming forces
