(Documentary film trailer)




"BY THE LIGHT OF A MILLION FIRES takes a lively look at human origins in Africa’s Rift Valley and follows one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer groups in the world, the Hadza.  In addition to the remarkable Hadza, the film features Jane Goodall, Richard Wrangham, Wangari Maathai and a host of anthropologists, geneticists and other experts. The film candidly explores human evolution from primates to hominids to Homo Sapiens, and examines behavioral ecology and anthropology - and the balance between aggression and cooperation that allowed us to grow and thrive as a species." From By The Light of a Million Fires. In Production - Bill Benenson and Firestick Productions. 2012.
