Ethnologists at work
There's a documentary about some animist culture in Indonesia (the ones with the long, pointy, many-layered roofs, you know?) having a real big burial ceremony.
A huge event which only happens for the most important personages.
Among them, quite a few young Western men and women with big cameras.
Of course - once such an event happens in an indigenous culture that is being studied, the ethnology students and postdocs and whatnot convene from all over the globe to observe...
