Come with us to northeastern Zaire and meet the gentle pygmies of the Yoturi forest,
a people at one with nature whose very existence is in jeopardy.
A traditional pygmy bird takes place in the middle of a river.
The mother sits on a flat stone facing downstream.
The midwife receives the baby, gives it its first bath in the river and wraps it in large leaves.
A simple bird in true harmony with nature, peace and love.
The pygmies have achieved them fully by obeying their unwritten laws.
For them, love is far more than a fashionable cliché.
Pygmies, the little giants of our world. 7.30 Tuesday on ABC.
More of the action on ABC, the game station.
