While on a surf expedition to the tropical islands of Mentawai in Indonesia, film-maker Rob Henry found himself immersed between two starkly different local communities – an impoverished government-run settlement and a tribe living a traditional life in the jungle.
Filmed over the course of six years, As Worlds Divide takes us on an intimate journey inside these two contrasting ways of life, enabling a personal insight into the issue of indigenous displacement as well as demonstrating the importance this ancient cultural wisdom has in protecting the health and well-being of all Mentawai people.
As Worlds Divide is being screened at St James Cavalier, Valletta, tomorrow at 7.30pm. Tickets may be purchased online from http://ticketenginex.kreattivita.org .
