The first humans learned to live off the land as hunter-gatherers in the Rift Valley of East Africa. Our species has evolved in many ways since then, but the Hazda tribe is still living the same way in the same place—50,000 years later. The Hazda: Last of the First was produced and directed by Bill Benenson, an award winning documentary and feature-film maker, whose works range from Dirt! The Movie to Boulevard Nights.
