  • In Southern Ethiopia, 11 year-old Wario belongs to the Borana, a semi-nomadic tribe renowned for salt trading in the region. It is time for him to prove himself and his family, that he is a real Borana, and can take on important responsibilities in the community.
    He will undergo a 200 km initiatory journey to learn the difficult labor of salt trade. Accompanied by his father, he will face the many dangers of the desert: heat, thirst, fatigue and threats from enemy tribes. Will he make it across the desert to sell his precious white gold?
    "Becoming a Man among the Borana"

      I can't help worrying - what happens if you need a doctor or have toothache? And if you become short-sighted? How can you work or live without glasses? And to think that salt is the cheapest item on our supermarkets' shelves

    As a Somali who grew up in a similar environment, I'm really touched and became teary by seeing this rare documentary. Its incredibly beautiful how the father prepared his son for life by taking the sun rise/set as an example to pursue goals in life and the unbreakable family bonds displayed. The sacrifices and the endurance is incomparable to anything I have seen. I also solute the cameraman who risked his life to bring this rare beautiful documentary to the world. Bravo.

By the way I'm not Ethiopian, I just wanted to elaborate on what I think the 'ummm' sound means.

I thank God for having gave me the chance to formal education , today I'm a healthcare provider , a clinician , i recall my father's tell was similar to what I'm just watching . The singing wells is known as "el towan" as getting water from deep the well through chain of men passing on water filled containers to the main resvior then to the cannals . For animals and human consumption. I recall all this documentary place as it was where i was born . Its colourful place to be . Access to education was problem by then but my aunt took me to school in kenya where i got my islamic as well as secular education in mandera district , to day i pay visit to this beautiful country on my holidays . My dad passed away and rests in graveyard on these mountains , on "mount Sarite". May these people leave in abundance 🙏🙏🙏

I've met many Borana men who work as watchmen in several towns in Kenya and I always wondered why they can't find easier work back at home, this documentary has opened my eyes like nothing else. God bless their hard work. That boy Wario is receiving the best education under his father's tutelage.

    I have watched a dozen of documentaries on Slice so far & at the end of each one I am amazed at how much these families truly love each other. How well the children respect their parents & the parents (a majority are arranged marriages) respect each other. I have to do some self reflecting for why I’m so surprised by this. They are so happy when they don’t have any monetary wealth & have a basic education. After watching so many of these videos, it proves money can’t buy happiness. I sincerely hope these families have the best life!

      My reflection has shown me that in the west, we base our lives and currency on a piece of paper. Our bonds as a community are not present, cultures are not celebrated for their differences, but instead disrespected. Our hearts here could never work as a unit and be paid equally, we yearn to rank higher and in the process enlarge our egos. This documentary highlights our shortcomings in such a profound way. They are in the future, whilst we digress into the past. Our confusion trickles from this disruptive programming: that our plastic, technology, carbon emissions, lack of nature, etc is civilised and those who work in tandem with nature are uncivilized - and for that we in the west are never truly joyful. Our accumulation of things have distracted us and owns us...

Ethiopia is a big country with more than 80 different languages and many more tribes. What a beautiful scenery, I’m sure in a few years time all these will be lost, and your documentary will one of the few who captured moments. And what makes it interesting is each tribes here has also their own adventurous life, like the Hamar people, the Konso people, the Tsemay… I’m sure how the get to this market is as interesting as the Borenas.

    I felt home sick after watching this womderful, well set documantary. This is documentary tells Borana’s way of life to date. Borana people have so many hardship but they never complain. Lack of water is the major issue that our people are facing todate. As Borana are pastoralist water and pasture is crucial for there survival. Border conflict is also the major problem thosands of Borana are killed and murdered in defence of there land. This issue can be solved by the gorvenment but Ethiopian gorvenment instead promote it. It is my prayer that one day all this issues will come to end..
