Overview:

A family of Aka pygmies living deep in the Central African rainforest experiences their favourite time of year: caterpillar season. Millions of juicy, edible caterpillars fall from the mahogany trees. Away from the tall villagers to whom the Aka are virtual slaves, they express themselves through song, dance, and an astonishing teeth-sharpening ritual.
