WODAABE: HERDSMEN OF THE SUN (Wodaabe – Die Hirten der Sonne. Nomaden am Sudrand der Sahara) (1989) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Werner Herzog

 

"A documentary on the Wodaabe, a group of nomads of the Sahara, which pays particular attention to their courtship ritual. Herzog gets up close and personal with a tribe that seems to belong to another world in a documentary that feels very intimate and fascinating. It is well shot and faithful, as well as respectful of its subject."
