Ikland

Ikland is a 2011 documentary film about a journey into the mountains of northern Uganda near the Kenyan border and a visit with the notorious Ik people. It was produced by Cevin Soling, and directed by Soling and David Hilbert.

Anthropologist Colin Turnbull previously studied the Ik during the mid1960s during a period of prolonged drought. His research resulted in his controversial book The Mountain People, published in 1972. Turnbull described the Ik as a people who, as a result of prolonged hardship and destitution, abandoned their children, stole food from their elders, and threw human feces at each other for fun. Turnbull concluded that the Ik people would eventually die out, and suggested that the Ugandan government intervene to forcibly resettle survivors in other parts of the country.Episodes of violence and hardship have made travel to the region both hazardous and difficult in the years since Turnbulls departure. On their way north from Kampala, Solings crew encountered both friendly tribesman and armed militia, eventually reaching the Ik after many experiences. Soling convinces Ik from a particularly remote village to perform a theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, intended as a metaphor for the redemption of their international reputations. ........
