Ethiopia
Six British women experience life in remote communities. Anna De Vere from London goes to stay with the Hamar in southern Ethiopia, where it hasn't rained for months.
Six British women swap their everyday lives for life as tribal wives in some of the most remote communities on earth. Like many women today juggling career, home and family, they feel that something is missing. By spending time in societies where female roles are very different, they hope to find answers that could change their lives.
Anna De Vere from London is going to stay with the Hamar in southern Ethiopia. Anna has a comfortable life in London, living with her partner and running her own business, but deep down she has a feeling that something is lacking. As she immerses herself into life with the tribe, she is confronted with the harsh reality of the plains, where it hasn't rained for months, and where young Hamar women are ritually whipped in a celebrated tradition.
