This woman's child
has been killed.
:12:42
Now she must nurse a small
pig whose mother died.
:12:46
This is how the law
of the Cimbus goes,
:12:48
in the heart of New Guinea.
:12:50
There's still a place
on this earth
:12:52
where there is no difference
between the life of child
:12:54
and that of a pig.
:13:14
Under an immense sky,
on high mountains
:13:17
that seemed to raise the land
to the sources of light,
:13:21
men live surrounded by darkness.
:13:23
The land, still waiting to know
the secrets of plow and seeds,
:13:27
is not generous.
:13:30
lt's the Kingdom of Hunger.
:13:32
Many of these men
have eaten human flesh,
:13:34
which used to be
their ancestors' usual food.
:13:37
The tribe has come down
to the village
:13:39
where a general celebration
is about to start.
:13:41
Which, according to a tradition
imposed by poverty,
:13:43
only happens once every 5 years.
:13:46
A violent celebration during
which, for 3 days and 3 nights,
:13:50
they will gulp down meat
until they burst out.
:13:54
Soon, hundreds of pigs,
the only wealth they gathered
:13:58
through many years
of starvation,
:13:59
will be killed
and devoured in a few hours.
