‘We can learn a lot from the Penans’


Different worlds: Parry sitting with former cannibals in West Papua while filming ‘Tribe’ on Discovery Channel, one of the many tribes he has sought for his documentaries.

PETALING JAYA: For four years, celebrity explorer Bruce Parry tra­velled from the jungles of Malaysia to the Amazon to find a deeper under­­standing of indigenous people and how their way of life can benefit people in an industrialised world.

It culminated in his latest documentary Tawai: A Voice from the Forest, a homage to the natives, particularly the Penan, and what they can teach the rest of the world about the survival of humans and that of the planet.
