Enlightening and educational, this insightful documentary delves into the lives of the indigenous tribal communities of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Starting at Port Blair, the narrator highlights how resilient the tribespeople are, and how valiantly they stood up against the British attempts to chase them away from the island.
The documentary goes on to explore their lifestyles, shedding light on their food habits, belief system, medical treatment system, superstitions, and struggles.
