This is Joel Yawanawa, a member of the Amazonian 'Nixiwaka' tribe, and as of last year, my new god-brother. I recently conducted an interview with him and his wife, Oona, who travelled deep into the Amazon rainforest to live with his tribe, fell in love and moved to London. It was a great opportunity to see views of tribal life through the eyes of Joel who grew up there, and Oona who adapted to their customs. It also raised the question - what did Joel bring from the tribe to London, if anything? I am currently editing the footage and will post the interview soon.
