The women of the Mursi tribe of southern Ethiopia wear lip plates and vibrant jewellery, a custom that has spawned a lively tourist trade as Western visitors pay to take photographs –the more embellished the adornment, the higher the price. This humorous and sometimes uncomfortable film follows a tour group visit to the Mursi, raising profound questions about authenticity and the motivations and economics of “cultural tourism.”
