We are Humanity

On a remote island of the Indian coast, the first humans are still living in a forgotten world. The Jarawa people have left Africa to Asia 70,000 years ago. Up to now, they had managed to shelter themselves from the madness of our world. Today, their lives are threatened.

The Jarawas had refused any contact with the outside world for millennia. For the first time ever, they have granted a film crew an incredible access. 80 years after F.W. Murnau filmed Tabou in the Pacific Islands, Alexandre Dereims filmed in the last pristine and native world in the Andamans Island.
