The first film to document the way of living of the Kurumba tribal of the Nilgiris Prepare Biosphere Reserve in South India. Focuses on the yearly honey harvesters who scale cliffs to collect honey from hives. Dramatic sequences of honey gathering off 300-foot cliffs leave you spellbound by their agility and fearlessness.
