About this movie

Tawai is a word the nomadic hunter gatherers of Borneo use to describe the connection they feel to their forest home. In this dreamy, philosophical and sociological look at life, Bruce Parry (of the BBC's Tribe, Amazon & Arctic) embarks on an immersive odyssey to explore the different ways that humans relate to nature and how this influences the way we create our societies. From the forests of the Amazon and Borneo to the River Ganges and Isle of Skye, Tawai is a quest for reconnection, providing a powerful voice from the heart of the forest itself. 2018 QUEST UNLIMITED LTD.

Seen in the cinema, I'm so glad this film has come out on release. Well worth watching - moving, emotional & thought-provoking. Very much the sort of film that requires watching several times to get everything from it.
