The Asmat people live on the southwestern coast of western Papua, and their land has long remained free of outsiders.
Today, Biwar Laut is one of the largest villages on Asmat territory, and it is there that Rufinus, a 20 year old Asmat, will be married. Before that however, he must capture and kill a cassowary.
If he succeeds, this ritualistic act will renew and perpetuate the ancient traditions of his people.
Parallel to the wedding of a young Asmat, spectacular and rare stock film retraces the history of this terrifying people.
