We traveled to Ethiopia to see firsthand the wild tribes of the country's south and a reality that feels more like a journey to another planet. The tribes shocked and amazed us with their traditions, and in this documentary, we show how they live today. And this isn't some kind of show, but real life.

Our journey begins in the capital, Addis Ababa, from where we fly south to Jinka, the starting point for a trip through the Omo Valley.
The video features the Mursi, Hamer, Banna, Ari, and Karo tribes, and their rituals and traditions that are astounding. These are places where people often ask for clothes instead of money, where initiation rites, bull jumping, and painful rituals are still performed, and where the civilization we are accustomed to seems to remain somewhere beyond this world.

Southern Ethiopia is one of the most exotic and unusual places we've ever seen in our travels. This country is considered the birthplace of coffee, so we attended a coffee ceremony and saw markets and the everyday lives of ordinary Ethiopians.
