Extractions: The Kwegu share a remote corner of Ethiopia with the Mursi. This small group of hunters and cultivators provides the Mursi with a vital service - they make the dugout canoes used to cross the Omo River. In exchange, the Mursi provide security and the cattle the Kwegu need for their complicated tribal rituals. Masai warriors live in the forest on the fringes of society. They are not allowed to marry and are excluded from decision-making.

"Ethiopia has become to the Arab world what Thailand is to European tourists. Prostitution in Ethiopia has increased incredibily in recent years. In one section of Addis Ababa, some 130,000 girls support themselves by selling their bodies. Most of them are under eighteen, and many even under fourteen. In this probing documentary we meet the victims, girls that have been orphaned, or thrown out by their families, or are hoping to find a better life. They are compelled to turn to prostitution to survive. The young ones don't even earn enough money to buy food. The older ones earn more but yearn to work the luxury hotels as high class prostitutes. Virtually all the girls are HIV positive. Condoms are seldom used, even though they are distributed free in many places. Customers, believing the youngest girls are HIV-free, seek them out, which in turn keeps lowering the age of girls becoming HIV infected.". 1 videocassette (40 min.) : 1996
