Extreme Tribe: The Last Pygmies

We've seen it all before...the tribe as a microcosm of our society with all the comedy and drama of our city lives. Infidelity, theft, bullying....what else would you expect...people are people. Generally it's pretty good with the hostess getting herself fairly involved in the lives of some of the tribe members...mainly women..as you would expect. What is NOT ENJOYABLE however, nor necessary on any level is her choice of language. I'm not a prude and I'm often guilty myself of using bad language but I'm not on TV and being filmed and possible been seen by age groups that might be offended. It's completely un-necessary and should really have been edited out and for this reason I have reduced the rating by 2 stars Shame on you....you're old enough to know better and don't represent Channel 4 TV or the UK in a favourable light......I do hope you regret it in retrospect

A well written, presented and honest look at a soon to be lost culture. Livia Simoka is embraced by the Mbendjele, she becomes part of Mama's family and genuinely cares about the tribe. A great piece of film making! I would love for her to re-visit in a few years time for an update on the tribes journey.
