The Third Way to Reach Remote Tribes

Remote tribes around the world struggle to adapt to the intrusions of the Western civilization, finding a compromise between the past and the future, traditional and modern ways of life. Their survival depends on it. This film brings together tribes scattered on 5 continents. Their contact with the white civilization started during the Age of Discovery, nearly 600 years ago. Since then, it followed one of the two ways: the First Way was all about being conquered and dominated by force, while the Second Way meant being abandoned, left alone, with the specific new problems generated by the First Way and no solutions to them. In 1996, a young Romanian man, Sebastian Tirtirau, started his journey to different tribes around the world having in mind another way, a Third Way, which is meant to find a balance and heal the wounds of the past. This has been his life for the past 16 years.
