SHOOTING WITH MURSI

Ethopia/England 2010

This unique film tells the story of one of Africa's most isolated tribes – the Mursi – through the eyes of one its members Olisarali Olibui, who carries in one hand a Kalashnikov and in the other one a camera. The film provides a compelling and at times disturbing insight into everyday life of a people whose culture, in the words of Olisarali, faces extinction.

Winner Best Documentary - National Geographic All Roads Film Festival 2010.
Honourable Mention for Olisarali Olibui - Jean Rouch Film Festival, Paris 2010.

Olisarali Olibui grew up in remote part of Ethopia called Mursiland where, after seeing westerners with cameras, he realised that film making was a way of showing the world Mursi culture. He met a journalist, Peter Moszynski, who introduced him to film maker Ben Young and they made the film together. Ben Young has edited and directed numerous films about people in the remotest regions of the world.
