content: Edited film shot among the Ik, a formerly nomadic hunting and gathering people of northeast Uganda. Film depicts the fragmentation of Ik life caused by drought and displacement from their traditional hunting territory. Footage includes: Ik homesteads, woman carving a calabash and churning milk, scenes of agricultural practices, and interactions with the pastoralist Turkana with whom the Ik traditionally had relations as both part-time cattle herders and raiders.
