A place without people: Tanzania

"A film about how the local population of Tanzania has been evicted to make way for the creation of the world's most famous nature reserves. Set in the famous Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater, the film explores how the parks came to be and how western perceptions about nature radically altered both the East African landscape and society. The film focuses on the people who "shouldn't be there", not only because their voices are rarely heard but also because they are still being antagonised and excluded, while the tourist industry is rapidly depleting the area's natural resources." -- Fest21 website.

  • "A Place Without People: Tanzania tells the story of the eviction of the indigenous people from their lands in Tanzania, to make way for the creation of the world's most famous nature reserves. In Tanzania, one of the poorest nations in the world, the government, the tourist industry and conservation organizations have advanced the idea that Africans are intruders into what was once a pristine Garden of Eden. The film describes how before World War II the land of the Maasai was seized by British colonialists to set aside for their own sport -- hunting. But as game grew scarce, the British realized they should preserve it and the Serengeti was turned into a vast national park in the 1950's and '60's. This land, possibly the longest-inhabited place on earth, was labelled a 'primordial wilderness' and although there was no evidence that local people threatened wildlife, it was decided that 'no men, not even native ones, should live inside its borders.' The film explores how Western perceptions about nature have evolved through time and how these perceptions radically altered both the East African landscape and society. From the famous wildlife reserves of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro to the remote mountains of Mahale, the documentary gives voice to the indigenous people who 'shouldn't be there, ' who continue to be antagonized and excluded, while the tourist industry is rapidly depleting the area's natural resources, such as water."@en
