EPISODE 8: THE MODERN HUNTER GATHERER: Two Worlds

In the last episode, we followed people in the Rewilding Movement who are trying to incorporate primitive skills into their daily lives.

Then we journey to the fertile rainforests of Northern Congo to meet true modern hunter gatherers and the scientists who are trying to understand their way of life before it disappears.
