Believing he had but a few months to live, Tacoma dentist William B. Truetle chucked everything, bought a camera...and ventured to the furthest regions of Northeast Uganda, to chronicle the rituals of its still-primitive tribesmen.

Body piercings and other ceremonial mutilations abound; watch at your own risk! 63 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
