The Baima tribe is a Tibetan
branch that still maintained primitive matriarchy and lived on hunting not long
ago. In 1999, as a protective measure against the disastrous floods in the area
where the Baima tribe has always lived, the government decided to blockade the
mountain area and hunting was no longer allowed. This forced the tribe to change
its traditional lifestyle. The four sisters in the documentary are the most
beautiful girls in the Baima tribe. Blessed with native talents like singing and
dancing, they are among the first to explore the local tourist business. They
make money through performing for tourists and this caused controversy among the
villagers. However, some of them followed the four sisters's example and joined
the tourism business. The once quiet village is getting restless everyday ever
since. |
