The Sky Above, The Mud Below

This Oscar-winning film follows six Europeans as they trek 450 miles across unmapped territory in New Guinea over a seven-month period in 1959-60. In a veritable journey back to the Stone Age, the expedition encounters primitive tribes, head-hunting cannibals and numerous hardships. But in addition to documenting the men’s trials, the film provides a stunning visual record of the native traditions, unique animals and colorful birds they saw. –Netflix
