Only their immediate neighbors, the Dinka, Shilluk and Arabs, call them Nuer. The people of Ciengach, where the film was made, are the Eastern Jikany, one of about sixteen district tribes of Nuer. Twenty-five years ago the total population of Nuer was estimated to be around a quarter of a million. SInce then the number has undoubtedly dwindled considerably due to warfare, civil strife, sickness, drought and the general abandonment of traditional lifeways. However, those who still called themselves Naath did so with a vivid image of themselves as superior people living a superior life. Furthermore, it was impossible not to see that their lives were inextricably tied to their herd. Ciengach is a perfected plan for co-prosperity of cows and humans. Nuer existence has, consistent with life on a flood plain, an almost tidal rythm due largely to the movement of cattle into and out of the villages -- Container." . . . .

Much of their daily life revolves around their cattle. Not only are they concerned with the herd's physical welfare, but the animals are an integral part of the people's religious feelings and tribal rituals, cementing alliances between lineages and serving as mediators between them and their god. This film is a detailed study of the Nuer's basic life style and portrays the harmony and rhythm of their existence. It was shot in a village along the Baro River in southwestern Ethiopia during the dry season of 1968. Please note that it contains sequences that may upset some viewers.
