The Samanthas or the Khonds of Visakhapatnam agency of Andhra Pradesh, India are one of the few surviving "primitive tribal groups". They speak the language called "Kuvi". Slash and burn cultivation is the major source of livelihood for the Samanthas. Though the modern commercial exploitation of forests has restricted the areas available to the native tribesmen, there remains several tribal societies in India representing various modes of archaic farming which followed in time that of hunters and gatherers.
The Koyas are one of the few multi-lingual and multi-racial tribal communities living in India. They are also one of the major peasant tribes of Andhra Pradesh numbering more than four lakhs. Their physical features are classified as Australoid. They call themselves as "Koithur". They speak the language called "Koyi". It is blended with Telugu in Andhra Pradesh. This ethnographic film in two parts deals with the nature-man interaction and the associated belief system.
This ethnographic film in two parts deals with the nature-man interaction and the associated belief system. It examines the features of the environment and ecology in relation to the Koya economic system- the interaction of productive forces and the natural resources. The economy, the social organization and the religion of the Koyas are closely inter-related, inter-dependent and interacting. The basis of enormous diversity in the Indian cultural matrix lies in its varied ecological conditions. The interplay of nature and culture is implicit in the little traditions of the sub-continent. The Koya culture is unique in adapting itself to its natural setting.
This film is a call for tribal solidarity. It reveals the approaching trauma of two lakh tribals who will be displaced under the Polavaram Dam Project on river Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, India. The project is estimated to submerge four hundred villages and four thousand hectres of forest in Dandakaranya. Large-scale projects often created islands of development in the midst of under-development perpetuating regional imbalances. Past experiences have shown that development paradigms are often discriminatory against the tribal communities and other marginalized sections of society. Development is meaningful only when it is sustainable. India needs an alternative way of development which combines traditional methods with environmentally sustainable technologies. Only then will it be able to sustain its diverse cultures and promote the welfare of the tribals.

Savage-Rumbaugh asks whether uniquely human traits, and other animals' behaviors, are hardwired by species. Then she rolls a video that makes you think: maybe not. The bonobo apes she works with understand spoken English. One follows her instructions to take a cigarette lighter from her pocket and use it to start a fire. Bonobos are shown making tools, drawing symbols to communicate, and playing Pac-Man -- all tasks learned just by watching. Maybe it's not always biology that causes a species to act as it does, she suggests. Maybe it's cultural exposure to how things are done.
