In June 2014, deep in Amazonian Brazil, a group of young men walked out of the forest and made contact with the outside world for the first time. The footage, filmed by one of the anthropologists who was staying in the remote settlement near the border with Peru, became popular – 3.5m views popular – on YouTube. (“YouTube, what the hell is that?” they said, though no one understood their language, yet).
First contact is awkward, and then touching when they are presented with a bunch of bananas. Say it with bananas. But then it gets awkward again, when the young men begin to ransack the village, grabbing everything they can get their hands on. Things only calm down again when the anthropologists start to sing – song, the language that knows no boundaries – and the four tribesmen utter their appreciation ... Well, the anthropologists think so.
It’s only later in First Contact: Lost Tribe of the Amazon (Channel 4) that they are able to translate what the men are saying.
