This film examines the work of Bronislaw Malinowski, often revered as the founding father of modern anthropology. Malinowski famously "went native", intending to live among the mysterious tribes of the Trobriand Islands in the Pacific Ocean for 12 months. However, the outbreak of the First World War forced him to stay for four years and the resulting work he produced was seen as pioneering. Some 25 years after his death, his newly-published diaries revealed that he actually reviled the islanders and dismissed them as backward savages. The revelation rocked the reputation of both Malinowski and anthropology itself. This film returns to the islands to explore Malinowski's story and its legacy.

Verdaderamente q esta brutal el hecho q frente a mundo el presenta esa cultura de una manera aceptable y en su diario el se desahogaba por decirlo asi y hablaba muy mal de ellos..era como sacar todo lo mal que se sentia...

Malinowski single handedly invented fieldwork as we know it today. A great story.

B.M. wanted to disprove S. Freuds "anal Eroticism" theory. When, he said he found none in these people it was so reported to Sigmund who replied "what, dont they have assholes!?"

Yo creo que está bien documentado; tiene entrevistas con Adam Kuper, por ejemplo, y además ubica la obra de Malinowski en el contexto de un debate teórico.
