content: Edited film: shows Craho women harvesting and preparing manioc. The manioc meal is mixed with pieces of meat, spread onto a large banana leaf, and is covered with leaves. This bundle is tied together, laid on hot stones, and is covered with leaves and earth. The finished cakes are uncovered the next morning and are cut into two large pieces. The villagers are divided into two groups; each cake is cut into smaller pieces and distributed to the people.
