Very well put together programmes and absorbing to watch. Parry is a natural presenter and gets his enthusiasm across really well because of that.
The story of the Suri was compelling and vivid. As Kim says, it is the fact he just says what anyone would say and without any pretence that makes it. Sometimes I felt he was too cheerful
But it showed how important humour and a good nature are to communicate with others and engaging in their life won him their respect.
The stick fighting was amazing and the creeping modernity with the AK 47's now changing their lives was depressing but it reminded me that they are 'doing it for real' and out of necessity. As long as we continue our commercialised ways we can not expect those who live a primitive life style ( in that I use the term to mean closer to nature and tradition than 'simple') to be seduced into the same path.
The most poignant moment for me was right at the end, where their 'king'/ village elder hed his hand and spoke simply about us all having '10 fingers, 2 eyes 2 legs' and us all being the same under the colour of our skin and the way we live.
And especially when he said 'Remember Me'.............
I think when he said that, he also meant 'Remember Us', as he saw the changes coming.
