What happens

Ikland is a 2011 documentary film about a journey through the mountains of northeastern Uganda, along the Kenyan border, toward an encounter with the Ik. Ikland was produced by Cevin Soling, and directed by Soling and Hilbert David. The Ik were described in anthropologist Colin Turnbull's 1972 work The Mountain People as callous and indifferent. Ikland follows the documentary makers as they meet with the Ik, and revisits Turnbull's description in the context of local circumstances. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
