That journalist who sticks up for the Jarawa people was awesome. Too bad everyone else isn't like him.

That journalist's concern is heartwarming. 👏

the guy who makes the newspaper is such a beautiful soul

These are PEOPLE! Beautiful people with a beautiful and mysterious culture. It is a shame to endanger such a thing.

That's just sick...leave these people alone! Humans have such a demented sense entitlement.

It's kinda sad that they treat the culture like a new animal in the zoo

Not only is an indigenous tribe being threatened but a once pristine ecosystem is now strewn with filth and trash-what is wrong with people?

The Sentinelese are the most mysterious tribe, not the Jarawas.

i am an Indian....and yet again my country has embarrassed me with flying colors !! my apology to the tribe if it meant anything..

A reserve that anyone can access isnt much of a reserve. I feel tribes like these should be protected at all costs. I love the idea of these folk living their ancient traditions in todays modern world. They are precious. The Human Safari aspect is DISGUSTING and Barbaric. What is up with our world.

They do the same thing in Thailand with the longneck tribes. It’s heartbreaking honestly

This is heartbreaking. NO ONE has a need or a right to interfere with these people. They survived this long without outside contact, PLEASE let them be!!!

I wish there were more places untouched by modern human society, deforestation, celebrity and pop culture, technology, social media and greed. Rare cultures and societies like this are a rare and beautiful thing, and now you’re slapping it on a lunch box and now, you’re selling it, you’re selling it...

this is extremely sad and inhumane

The subtitles are often extremely inaccurate. In the beginning, when the announcement is saying "do not overtake vehicles ahead of you on the road" at 0:24, the subtitle says stuff about prohibitions on giving food. Later, at 2:27, the lady says, "we get to take them (the tourists) on tours" ... subtitle says "they bring money". I understand this is a minor issue, but it's a documentary, so please, please make sure such obvious errors do not make it through to the final production. On a more important note, observing non-Western people as if they are animals is an age old tradition. It's obvious even today in the productions under the banners like BBC, Nat Geo, etc. And this video is not an exception. The shot where a chicken is lifted up from a cage, for example, has nothing to do with the story, but it succeeds in presenting a certain picture of Kolkata to those who have never been there: a mosque and a chicken about to be killed! Wow ... the likes of Eisenstein are turning in their graves! Completely irrelevant to the story, but completely relevant to the colonial mindset from which none of these organizations (including Vice, albeit to a much lesser extent) have severed themselves.

The news paper guy 👏👏👏 he is genuinely aware and no sugar coating

WTF! Remember Human Zoo's in Europe during slavery??? This is what this is and it is fucked up

Only way would be to close of the island and make it one reserve. Anyone entering can be killed by the jarawa.

This is one of the saddest things I've seen.

they have very pretty facial features

this is how aliens watch us.

As an Indian I am ashamed, this is fucking wrong man. We need to stop this Human Safari at any cost. We need to save our ancestors.

This tribe came this far shows how resilient they are. Its time to take action to stop this influx of tourists and abandon the island.

This just shows how young our species really is.

This made me mad!! I cant believe this is happening... I lived 3 yrs of my life there when I was growing up.... Sentinel, Chaura, Yarawa (Jarawa) and Ongi tribes have been living like this for over 40,000 yrs!! I grew up with Tribes (not the endangered ones) I know them and it pains to see this is where it has come to!! Shame on you!

Why isn't Amnesty International all over this?

6:07 - beautiful pic. Raining only in certain location and you could see it from far. Wow.

This reminds me of a situation with the Gullah in South Carolina. Gentrification that leads to extinction of a native people. Wow

I am always a shade jealous when watching such videos. They lead such fulfilling and truely lived lives. Their family bonds are beyond anything in almost all societies

when I was there 3 years ago, it was still illegal to go to the islands where they lived. There was a museum on their culture and lifestyle, but it was impossible to actually go and meet them. I can't believe they've done this! This is pretty disturbing!

I am from the Islands , the main reason why people are not allowed to see the jarawa are because they have been abused since indipendence 1947. The british left the islands , indian government came , so more indians migrated there . These Indians always associated the jarawas as cannibals and all kinds of shit. This continues for years then the government places new rules to protect the jarawa , these jarawas arent aware of how government works or the functionality of a modern world . They try to blend in to be safe , started wearing proper clothing etc. The main problem for the jarawas is the road which passes through their territory. the place is very quiet until 430 am then the cars and busses rush in for mostly tourists and some amount for the other habitants . People should learn to respect the culture of the tribe and let them be and not ruin their indigenous lifestyle.

"The locals burn their rubbish at home themselves, but the tourist resorts don't know how to handle all that waste so they bring it here." ...seriously? so people go there and destroy land that isn't even there's. humanity is fucked up. 😒😒😒😒😒

fascinating. I have been interested in the Adaman islanders for years...they are the pure essence of humanity

These people are the closest living things to our ancestors. 60,000 years was when human migration from Africa began. These are the people with whom lies the primitive human language and traditions of the first humans. They need to protected at all costs but also studied. Nothing wrong with that. Their culture is an absolute anthropological goldmine and will help answer deeper questions about the early humans and other patterns of human migration.

Reminds me of the bus tours they give through the favelas in Rio. "Look at the poor people!" 😒

History repeating itself...please, PLEASE leave those people alone before they start to die out for someone else's amusement, civilization, religion, etc...the list goes on and on! Come on we've seen this before people!

Here is a solution: Stop having Human Safaris. This is exploitation at its worst.

May peace, wealth & health come to Jarawa, Andaman islands & people around the world.

That bass at the start, damn, shook my whole room.

These tribes captivate me way more than they should

The same happens in Brazil at the favelas, and Alfama in Lisbon. Also, in Rome, Italy. There are special packages to see the "neighborhoods" and the "local peoples"...

Another wicked doc Vice, thanks for your enlightened views on humanity and global issues. Been watching since the original "Vice Guide to Travel" days with Shane Smith. Even after all these years your integrity hasn't been shaken, and has perhaps become even stronger. Here's to many more years of raw, front-line reporting. Thanks, and cheers!

Love his voice !

This is just how Pygmies are generally treated in The Congo Regions by Bantus for the most part

"Rubbish was everywhere, and the sewer system non-existant" Oh, so just like India.

This is just so sad and deplorable. These peoples could hold the key to human evolution and migration out of Africa.

My pride in my country RIP

I love this guy who fight for these people.

They should hire Gukha army instead. and not let tourists go. Thanks Vice for sharing. I never knew such a thing existed

I don't know where he got his information from, but I attended a lecture once where the professor talked about how the languages of asia developed in certain streams sweeping across the continent. The islands remained untouched by almost all the language sweeps, the same could be said for their genetics

Wow, this makes me so sad.

Why is there a random clip of about 2 seconds at 5:28 showing the city of Mysore(located in the heart of South India) in this video on Andaman islands? o.O

i have been there when i was 13 yrs old and never knew that this is such a serious issue. Lemme tell you , everyone just want to see them and count how many of them they see, even our group members threw breads, and stuff to them , and tribes see us holding their own made weapon. There area is so beautiful you can see some of the places where they have made special baskets for birds, but seriously they should be leaved untouched, they are very few. Many were of them have started wearing clothes which was not there culture, they have our snacks and it's sad but even i feel we are going to loose them soon it nothing happened serious soon. Administration only stops private vehicles only when its out of 8 hour period . You never feel how precious they are even i never thought that until i was on internet and heard and watched documentaries. and yes it's 2017 and this situation is same. I am never going there and definitely spread this important thought among my all relatives 'cause people still take them as a entertainment sources.

5:33 RIP Eardrums

We need more people (on the planet) like that guy in the red polo shirt.

In my conversations with the locals, Jarawa's frequently are in contact with them, sometimes visit eateries and are let to eat for free. I have also seen Jarawa's wearing cotton shorts obviously sourced from the civilised world. It isn't as remote as this video projects it to be. A counter argument would be that though some of us want to protect them by keeping them to themselves and not mingling with the 'civilised' world, it serves as an attraction to us that there is a remote tribe still on earth. If we let nature have it's course, it's quite natural that they will eventually mingle with us, like whole of the races have. It's our own vanity to 'protect' them.

Thanks for bringing this gross violation of their rights to my attention.

"Pay your money and will we grant you access to one of the most endangered tribe on the planet". In the process they will be more endangered! Well done! Endangering them further is actually what you are paying for.

Looks like a interesting island with a interesting history

ahhh india, the most spiritual country in the world

I think India should build fences along the road with underpasses for the Jarawa to cross the road

If someone grew up in the tribe, but looked out and wondered about the rest of the world and tried to leave the tribe what would happen? Would it be allowed?

so how was this video made?

Music is good, would be nice to get a track list?

This video is VERY VERY misleading. I have been to the Andamans and the Andaman Trunk Road. The government of India does not provide or support these so-called Human Safaris. The truth is the Andamans are divided into North, Middle and South. The capital Port Blair is in South and Diglipur, a major city, is in the North. The Jarawa Tribe region is in Middle Andaman,sandwiched in between these two. Being an archipelago the major cities are connected by sea routes. But then the sea routes are not always reliable due to weather conditions, commercially not viable for the small businesses neither can it be used as a mass public transport system. The government thus made the Andaman Trunk Road. This single two-lane road of ATR is the one and only land based public transport system connecting the two biggest commercial hubs of the Andaman islands. And it is not at all that anyone with a car can drive on it. There are certain protocols to be followed. The buses or cars are taken in batches. They have to have prior permissions. They are escorted by police officials in the front and the back. No photography and no stopping until the buses have reached a checkpoint that is outside the Jarawa region. Mind you, a steady speed of 40km/hr , no stopping whatsoever, no cameras and always under police escort. The 70% of the ATR users are actually localites going about their jobs or visiting their families. Tourists are a far minority as the major tourist regions are actually the islands around Port Blair especially Havelock. The chances of actually seeing a Jarawa is very very slim. The bus in which I was going was carrying more than 100 passengers and only 4 people (including my brother) actually saw a Jarawa father and son, the father was carrying a spear. You know why the rest did not see them, because they were SLEEPING!!!. Yes a huge majority were not even interested in the Jarawa tribe. Reason is they were actually localites and simply very tired considering it was a long journey. If you want to abandon the ATR consider the economic ramifications it can have on Andaman economy. Going by the attitude of this video it seems they are against tourism itself in Andaman. I assure you 90% of all tourism is concentrated in the Port Blair and Havelock island regions where there are no indigenous tribe. The garbage and corruption shown in this video is unfortunately true in every part of Indian cities including Delhi and Mumbai. But this unjustified blame put on Andaman Trunk Road or the notion that government of India provides Human Safari tours is completely bullshit.

If there are aliens checking us out, this is how we look to them, lol!

Old Vice was something else man

This guy right here is beyond a good person

How is it these antiqued, primitive excursions have been allowed to continue? It's sickening. These are people, not animals at a zoo.

1:18 Natural (real) sixpack 👏👏👏

This is real journalism

the intro is awesome

Jarawa literally translates to 'Burnt Ones'. Poor guys :(

I have never been so pissed off in my entire life

Could anybody please tell me what the song is at 3 minutes in??.. Thank you!

This is heartbreaking.

Is that a GIANT DRAGON FLY squashed (swatted) to the yellow pillar behind him ?...10:59

Really sad.... Please leave them alone and special thanks to the guy fighting for this to stop.

Does someone know what the song is called playing in the background? With the man singing? Around @03:30?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Whats the track ID around 3:40??? Thank you very much!!

Catch a glimpse of the "uncivilized inhabitants of the island"...I saw mountains of garbage from tourists and locals, supposedly the civilized ones.

Human Safari? They actually exploit other human beings for their own profit. that is sickening. I don't have a problem with letting these people have their own space.. but this is gross.

:The image of the dancing Jarawa @ 4:59, is that of the Jarawa dancing troupe from the Jarawa ethnic tribe in the Northern Nigeria state of Plateau.

Vice is always covering news that we never see on television.

You cannot stop the people from using the main road of the island. You cannot stop the Jarawas from coming on the road. You cannot stop the people from seeing them. Unless there is a rule that all vehicles will be windowless boxes. You can make any law but people have to follow them.

Europeans did the same to red indians

Jeez just let the poor uncontacted tribe evolve slowly in peace

Found myself wanting to see the jarawas haha.

Materialistic people really know how to screw everything up! Not just Americans.....

I feel sick. Bus driving through with Jarawa on both sides. So much for studying as uncontacted tribe.

2020 still here brah

we. need to protect them

Why would they be using Amazonian Icaros (the shamanic songs used in ayahuasca ceremony) in a show set in India?

I don't necessarily disagree with what's being said here, and I'm sure those who want to "preserve" their culture mean well. But, I think Jarawa people should decide what's best for Jarawa people.

Humanity.... look at the bigger picture of existence. Life is so much more than u can fathom... it's really simple but humans have made it so complex.

They are beautiful wow

I live in Canada where you can still get in touch with nature or hunt very easily, so it's easy for me to see that humans still hold some of our primal instincts that need to be acted on, just like how dogs love to play fetch to simulate hunting prey.

I dunno, I lived in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district during the late 60's, and tour buses used to come thru looking at us. Didn't bother ME any.

Posted on my birthday NoIcE

damn, this is a tough one!
