Thank you so much for showing our documentary and for sharing Gemtasu’s story.
We loved sharing this incredible story 💛
So the Malaria killed him? If so does it mean that they don’t take modern medicine?
It’s just incredible—and what a wonderful person Gemtasu was. It’s admirable how Ulla was able to build a connection and foster such trust.
I Subscribe to your Channel.

Hey @ullalohmann1 its amazing seeing the connection you made with them, that you are able to share an intimate and sacred part in their lives. Will you be going back to visit them and will there be another documentary that we will be able to see how well they preserved Gemtasu’s mummy.

These people don’t care about their teeth or hygiene, that I did notice. They must live with a lot of pain with rotten teeth in most of the tribe’s mouths.
If where have chance to say that he can do both beliefs if he die he can be mummified and bury with tombstone like he’s brother in short he’s like in a mausoleum but specifically with glass entomb as he want like he’s ancestor burial but with feels like he’s brother that buried in christian/catholic way with cross and stone plaque.
This custom or i will say the document made me cry . I miss my parents and I can feel the pain of him seeing his father back again. Blessings for the one you love and the ones loved. ❤
