A series of sequences, edited by Paul Spindler, taken from the original rushes shot by Rudolf Pöch during his 1907-09 expedition to southern Africa. Apart from an initial sequence of a dance (above),this edited version consists of a series of single shot sequences of technical processes.
The original rushes contain a number of sequences which Spindler excluded possibly because they conflicted with 1950s ideas of what an ethnographic film should contain.
