content: Edited film: guests from Rio Ocamo come to Klavateri for the palm fruit festival and move through the banana bushes with their bundles and weapons. Once at the festival, they eat the game, palm fruit and drink provided by their hosts. Painted and decorated dancers circle rhythmically through the area, swinging weapons and palm fans.
