yeah, I saw this a little while ago.
it was also a tv show (or at least they wanted to get it aired) and I saw the first episode on youtube, but it since seems to have been taken down.
that said, an element of 'romanticization' of the tribe and indigenous cultures can set in, reflecting some unconscious biases towards our own current societal configuration.
as with all novelty, we hone in on the aspects we find 'desirable', not realising that all elements, in their way, are distorted.
is there purity in the primitive tribe? perhaps. is there beauty in the primitive tribe? perhaps. is there both purity and beauty in our own society? perhaps.
where free will is maximised, there you will find the greatest freedom (and latitude) of the creator.
