content: Edited film of young men of the Bororo Fulani, pastoral nomads of the Niger Republic, wearing elaborate makeup and garb for participating in a "beauty contest." Known as a garawol, this "contest" features the ritual dancing and display by males, each seeking to be chosen most attractive by a specially designated female of the group. The event reflects culturally constructed notions of beauty, manhood, individuality, and envy.
