Deep Hearts
- 1980 ----- color ----- 49 min ----- 16mm
- The Bororo Fulani of Niger in Africa are a nomadic people who move with their beloved cattle across the inhospitable Sahel region. For a few weeks they gather in large numbers during the rains to celebrate their just pride in themselves as independent and beautiful people. At the gathering they hold a ritual series of dances known as "Gerewol" in which the younger men compete in a beauty contest. Deep Hearts is their description of how they must live. For them it is necessary to hide the feelings of envy which they all experience and they do this by cultivating a deep and secret heart.
- Topics: (Africa, Anthropology: Cultural, Ethnomusicology)
