Notes from Vimeo page:
“All the Mentawai interviews were translated on location with Ricky, Gejeng and Will. However later to sync up the words to the interviews, I had to make a few Skype calls to Ricky and play him the audio. Because of that, some of the words might not be perfectly arranged in the time line, but the content is accurate.”

Dear Joey, what an amazing documentation. We’ve been on the Mentawai in March 2009 being guided by Gejeng and had things arranged by Ricky, living with Tajianjian and his family for about a week. We all just can hope that they can save the consistency of their culture and tradition for many more years! Thanks for your video – a real heritage for the ensuing ages! Chrissi&Hendrik from Germany
