First Contact (BBC4 Anthropology Season) - Part 1 of 6

Adventurous and high-paying tourists are being offered the chance to make "first contact" with some of the world's last remaining uncontacted tribes.




First contact with the outside world usually spells disaster for genuine uncontacted tribes.




Presented by Mark Anstice, an experienced expedition leader and author of a book also called First Contact, this film looks at the complex issues surrounding the ethics of first contact and meets the people involved.

"They should have the right to see these kinds of people." wtf we are not talking about animals ! Come on, leave them alone, they don't need us.

Which is often done for news stories, celebrity stories, and reality tv. It is only natural that the worst people in the world want to do ruin the privacy and secrecy of other people.

Because they are happy. Why bring these people into our world of consumerism and war?

[aoifenicsheain]

It's like walking in someone else's front door with a video camera.

watch the bruce parry expedition and admire the way multicultural learning should take place dont look at them become one of them

[daveforfun22]

in all truth what makes us think they are better in there way then ours? surely we shouldnt be treating them like animals to observe or leaving them alone but educating them and bringing them to all the wonders of the modern world.
