At the foothills of the Himalaya, along the border separating India and Nepal, Raji nomads still hunt for wild honey.
They scale the trees of the great Terai forest, risking their lives to harvest the honey of the apis laboriosa - the largest migratory bee in the world. Both slave and master of the bees, Bahadur defies the towering trees and braves death for the survival of his people.
After discovering written accounts of the Raji's way of life, photographer and filmmaker Eric Valli set out to discover what had become of these nomadic people.

I am from Nepal and thank you for making such a beautiful documentary. And indeed it is sad to see those beautiful forests disappearing to build houses 🥺🥺

The Raji's borrowed a bit of honey from their bee neighbors but they robbed my heart. Where are you going? Where the bees are going. Where are the bees going? Where the flowers are. Fragrant in their existence, sweetness in their presence, Raji's are the honey amongst humans.

The rowing with the bridge in the background, is a powerful piece of film.

Beautiful place. When I was a child in Mexico, I experienced this honey harvesting. Not fun, and extremely difficult, but delicious at the end.🐝🐝🐝❤

Actually in Nepali language MAMA means uncle.....and in most of the Nepali communities if someone is somebody's MAMA then he becomes MAMA for all.....So this person's original name has to be something else.......Nice doc.....love from Darjeeling, India

Mother nature is always bountiful , it gives us enough for everyone's need but not for greed , born and brought up in Himalayas we never needed anything from outside world . Modern age has destroyed traditional cultures everywhere and it is saddening .

These people are just amazing, the way that respect nature and live in balance with it. They take only what they need, as opposite to a greedy approach which caracterizes our world nowadays. Really nice documentary.
