"Baka: People of the Forest" and its companion film "Baka: Growing Up" were on the Discovery Channel in the United States in the late 1980s. At that time I made a copy for myself on VHS off of the cable broadcast, sponsored by the National Geographic Society, Chevron, and CPB. It was a National Geographic Special and is narrated by Denzel Washington. The companion film is narrated by Ian Holm.

It is 1:19:21 in length, and shows the two films back-to-back.

The first film is about 56 minutes. The next one is 18 months later and is called "Baka: Growing Up." It is about 24 minutes.

A new film, Baka: A Cry from the Forest, was made of the same living people in this film, 25 years later, in 2012. Here are some references:

I think the great value of these films is to see an up-close example of how human beings lived from in bands from 50,000 or more years ago to 20,000 years ago as more people began the transition to village life, as Stephen Mithin documented in his book "After the Ice."

I decided to upload it to enable more people to experience this amazing film and its look into the daily life of an egalitarian family of hunter-gatherers, living as they had been for up to 50,000 years.

Plus, the more people who see how the Baka and other hunter-gatherers live, the more pressure could be excerpted to help prevent them from being bothered, their lands taken, or worse.

Produced and filmed by Phil Agland, these films was shown by the Discovery Channel in 1989.
