Learning on ScreenIn Search of Cool Ground: The Mursi Trilogy. 3: The Migrants

- Synopsis
- Follows a draught-induced migration of the Mursi people from their traditional territory in the Omo valley of Ethiopia to the Mago valley, about 50 miles away. This migration has brought them into contact with the market economy of the Ethiopian highlands. With their foothold in the pastoral economy weakening and their dependance on market exchange growing, the migrants are in the process of becoming settled agriculturalists, like the highland neighbours, the Ari. By tracing the present and likely impact of this move on the lives of the migrants, the film shows how they are beginning to carve out a new ethnic identity for themselves, as well as a new home.
