Résumé
Indiqué sur la jaquette : The seven videos contained in this DVD were made in Tanzania between 2008 and 2010 by participants in the Maasai Migrants Field School, directed by Peter Biella of San Francisco State University's Program in Visual Anthropology. The primary purpose of the videos in the series is to educate urban and rural Maasai about the consequences of migration, especially its relationship to poverty and the spread of HIV. The films have been produced through a continuing collaboration with Maasai-led and other NGOs, and they are being screened and discussed in Maasai regions throughout Tanzania. Their purpose is to trigger emotional reactions that prompt viewers to engage in important — though otherwise rare and uncomfortable — conversations, about poverty, migration, and sexual practices. The series also constitutes a self-critical history of a project in applied anthropology and gives an example for applied practitioners who may wish to use video in their work. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Maasai migrants : the first fil of the Series, Massai migrants depicts appalling conditions in Dar es Salamm-the dangerous and uderpaid work of night watchmen and the tenuous existence of Maasai women who, whithout the protection of relatives are always at risk of exploitation. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Subject to change : The film presents a history of the Series's first collaboration with a Maasai NGO. Documenting the design and scripting of Maasai migrants, this history is most valuable because it depicts passionate post-screening discussions of that film by Maasai viewers and analyzes how a wrong choice of a screening venue can undermine project success. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Maasai speak out on HIV and AIDS : This work depicts best practices in focus group research. Men and women from many Maasai regions reveal both ignorance ang great sophistication about the transmission, cure, and cultural contributors to HIV-AIDS. Their honest discussion of their beliefs provides the foundation for an informed health education campaign. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Ilmurran : yong warriors and the city : These Maasai brothers discuss discrimination, homelessness and disease in Tanzania' s cities. Each rejects traditional Maasai values in a different way. Before the eldest brother became ill, he advocated migration as a route to independance. His youngest brother sees migration as purposeless 'wandering' and advocates farming, previously anathema in Maasai tradition. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Excerpts from Changa revisited : Maasai women describe the dissolution of their Ilparakuyo community-homesteads torn by disease, their husbands' alcoholism, increasing proverty, migration and violence. When screened as a trigger film tomore osolated Maasai communities elsewhere in Tanzania, Changa revisited issues a call to arms against the coming crises of migration and HIV. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Longido waterhole : Maasai view : Yong warriors and the city, about the crisis of migration. The film prompts the audience to discuss its own crisis, that cities are now 'migrating' toward them. Senior warriors criticize their fathers for promoting this change while the elders admit the fault yet argue that they must still sustain their traditions. ; Indiqué sur la jaquette : Longido homestead : Maasai women view Changa revisited. Unlike the men in Mpngido Waterhole, these women stay focused on themes of the film. After the husbands leave, the film triggers open discussion between women of different ages. Older mothers declare that traditional Maasai medicine cure AIDS. Theirs daughters politely but firmly disagree.
