When award-winning photographer and filmmaker Bob Demchuk traveled to Africa six years ago, his life was transformed. He began a journey of discovery that would take him to a place where past and present intersect with astonishing clarity, a place of wonder he felt compelled to capture before tomorrow wipes it all away. That place is the tribal homeland of the Pokot of western Kenya. This book chronicles the three months he spent living among the Pokot on the shores of Lake Baringo earlier in early 2013.His encounter with the Pokot begins with a magical photograph, the snapshot of a tribal matriarch who beckons him into her world of proud, spear-carrying warrior-hunters, hereditary chieftains, herb-wielding medicine women, riddling storytellers, and a nomadic clan that lives a simple life in the wild devoted to ways from the far distant past, defying the future. Demchuk's tale is filled with marvels--battling hippos, unicorn-like giraffes, a rare silverback gorilla, crocodiles, a lake region populated with 458 different species of birds--and the Pokot themselves, a complex family of native Africans wary of Western ways who are guardians of a culture from our collective past.
