There we unravel one of the last ancient tribal rituals of the Maasai Warrior. The narrative follows the Warriors as they prepare to undergo a unique rite of passage that will initiate them into Elderhood. Granted unprecedented access to the three day ceremony, which occurs once every eight years, the filmmaker gained a rare insight into the world of the Maasai.

I hate reading the comments i usually find from westerners on Africa & African culture. Every culture does not, nor should not want to live as they do in the west, yet westerners medal and insist otherwise. Globalizing culture is does nothing for these people who would never be accepted by you anyways, leave them as they are, stop filling there countries with weaponry and western ideals.

That was a man. The Maasai men have long hair and women have short hair.

your right..im so sorry it wasn't my intention to insult them. I really respect their intelligence. Im just wondering if they will ever find a tribe that cant be translated into english... language is war and love. I am humbled. Action speaks more and they are amazing.

Better I think. Their hand-made clothes blend eye-catching colour and beautiful motives. Their spear blades are of very good quality and well-balanced. They know everything about cattle rearing in this environment. in fact early european settlers asked for advice on cattle pastures to avoid certain diseases. And they, themselves, are nearly all very athletic, tall and healthy.

They bear themselves with great dignitity. They are all tall and handsome and very fit.

How patronizing of you, b!tch. Don't insult their intelligence.
