Dance and music as a story in Mukuno village, traditional Batwa indigenous tribe from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda.

---

James and his fellow villagers are acting out a story about Nyabingi, the Batwa Deity in the village of Mukuno, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. They were indigenous forest nomads before they were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it was made a World Heritage site to protect the mountain gorillas. The Batwa Development Program now supports them.
