Synopsis på engelsk: In a remote Tanzanian valley three friends come of age in one of the world’s last hunter-gatherer societies. As the precious honey they depend on becomes harder to find, they film their lives. Will this next and possibly last generation of Hadza youth hold onto the wisdom learned across millennia?
«Children of Honey is a vivid and intimate documentary about three Hadza children growing up in northern Tanzania, where honey is food, medicine, spiritual offering, and part of a culture built on sharing. As bees begin to disappear and tourism, alcohol and loss of land put pressure on daily life, the film follows N!uba, Embelebi and Nguilabe through a time of change and uncertainty. The film's long-term collaboration with the Hadzabe community stands out, especially in the way the children help shape the film through their own footage. These images bring humor, playfulness and openness, creating a natural and honest way into their lives. The film avoids a simple story about tradition versus modernity, and instead explores dignity, agency and survival. It gives us a clear sense of what can be lost when balance comes under pressure. The Duduk'we myth anchors these questions in Hadza storytelling and belief»
