The Last Cavemen: The Filipino Tribe That Lives Inside a Volcano

World’s Toughest Places - Philippines:    • Red Zones - World’s Toughest Places |...  

In 1978, the world learned about the existence of a previously undiscovered tribe: the Taaw’t Bato, a few hundred individuals hidden in the heart of the jungle on the Philippine island of Palawan. During the rainy season, they hide in giant natural caves for months to protect themselves from typhoons. They survive by fishing and hunting bats.

But the Philippine government decided that these semi-nomadic people needed to be made sedentary. Gradually leaving the jungle and the caves behind, the Taaw’t Bato discovered urban life – and extreme poverty. Yet, over the past few years, dozens of sedentary Taaw’t Bato families have made a radical choice: unable to fit into this new environment, they have decided to leave the city, return to the land of their ancestors, and settle there forever.

We will follow the incredible journey of one such family, which has chosen to embark on this journey back to the jungle. The elders will revive ancestral customs; the youths will have to learn everything. This will be a huge challenge for all of them: to survive the rainy season, they must make it all the way to the caves, their last refuge.
