# Deep Hearts

VHS

Produced by Robert Gardner for the Harvard University Film Study Center

Young men from the Bororo Fulani tribe of nomads in the Niger Republic of Africa participate in a "beauty" contest. Wearing elaborate costumes and makeup, the latter serving as "masks" to prevent them from being devoured by the eyes and mouths of their competitors, the men gather for ritual dances, called gerewol, that enable them to express pride in themselves and at the same time to hide their feelings of envy
