Dinka: The Legendary Cattle Herders of South Sudan by Oscar Mann (Box 24501-00502, Kenya)

Uploaded by RizzoliNY on Apr 26, 2010
The legendary Dinka of Southern Sudan are one of the most outstanding groups of pastoralists on the African continent. Covered with ash and up to seven foot six inches tall, the Dinka were referred to as gentle giants by the early explorers. Living in perfect harmony with their cattle, they believe their animals are their essential link to God. During the dry season they move their herds in search of pasture through the vast swamplands of the River Nile, crossing its many tributaries and surviving on the milk of their cattle. Numbering more than two million and one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, the Dinka are also among the least touched by western ways.
Angela Fisher and Carol Beckwith have spent a lifetime studying the peoples of the Horn of Africa, and have published their photography in a series of acclaimed books as well as major magazine features. This short video film was made by Oscar Mann, a film maker based in Kenya, who accompanied the two photographers during their 2006 fieldtrip to Southern Sudan.
"Dinka: The Great Cattle Herders of the African Sudan," from Rizzoli New York, is a landmark documentation of this vanishing people in war-torn Sudan.

Very interresting film, Compare the dance of the Dinka girls at 3;43 with the way the Misseryya girls dance, it is actually very similair which does suggest that the Misseryya are very strongly of mixed Arab-Dinka origin.
