Description
Edward Marriott first heard about the Liawep tribe of Papua New Guinea in 1993, when their 'discovery' by a missionary hit the international headlines. He set out to find them himself, to listen to their stories, hopes for their future and fears for their changing world. Banned by the government, he assembled his own patrol and crossed the jungle illegally. Nothing could have prepared him for what he found nor the dramatic events that followed.
