“The Hadza: Last of the First” gives much of the world the only current glimpse into the lives of hunter-gatherers who may be the oldest population living in East Africa, and the filmmakers hope their way of life will inspire audiences to question theirs.
“I do think you can see, and I hope you felt, that their way of life is quite exemplary,” director Bill Benenson said at TheWrap‘s Awards Season Screening Series presentation of the film at the Landmark Theater in Los Angeles on Monday. “Or at least interesting enough to make us think about how we’ve become what we are today, and how we deviated from a system that brought other results.”
