Tawai is a word the nomadic hunter-gatherers of Borneo use to describe the connection they feel to their forest home. Bruce Parry (of the BBC’s Tribe, Amazon & Arctic) embarks on an immersive odyssey to explore how humans relate to nature and how this influences our societies. From the forests of the Amazon and Borneo, to the River Ganges and Isle of Skye, Tawai is a quest for reconnection, a powerful voice from the heart of the forest.
Tawai is a philosophical and sociological film about reconnection. Parry says “It connects us to our ancestors and the type of life they may have lived. It connects us with our bodies and senses, inviting us to feel more deeply once again. It connects us to each other, our physical environment, and that which is beyond, by inviting us to reconsider the interconnected nature of all things.”
