EP1 Montana Nov 29, 2009

The first US stop for our 5 tribesmen from Tanna is a cattle ranch in Montana. On the ranch, they join in with everything from hunting deer to medicating and branding cattle. It's not all work though: on a trip to Yellowstone Park they discover how much fun snow is, while a visit to a 2-step night at a local bar leaves them in hysterics.

EP2 New York Nov 29, 2009

Swept by limo to the glamorous apartment of Mrs. Bunny Beekman, the 5 tribesmen are plunged into the rituals of a tribe known as "the wasp people." They dine at Sardi's, find totems at the Metropolitan Museum built by their neighbors back home in the South Pacific, and even learn how to skateboard.

In their third episode, the 5 Tanna ambassadors are heading to middle America. Since they are staying over the Thanksgiving holiday, they join in all the seasonal rituals from cooking the "big chicken" and watching football on TV, to helping to build a strange, plastic tree inside the house.

Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Noelle The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
