content: In this short film, shot in 1957-58, Ju/'hoan women rest, talk and nurse their babies while
lying in the shade of a baobab tree. The film is a good illustration of "collective
mothering" in which several women support each other and share the nurturing role. A
GROUP OF WOMEN is sometimes also known by the title, Women Under the Baobab;
it was first shown under this title at the 1962 Flaherty Seminar.
