RING OF FIRE - Dance of the Warriors

RING OF FIRE - Dance of the Warriors



The Blairs sail to Komodo and film the giant, carnivorous lizards of the island whose tiny human population is descended from the people banished by the neighboring sultans of Bima to eke out their living on "Dragon Island." On the island of Sumba, they witness a veiled form of human sacrifice by equestrian warriors. Master weavers of magical textiles, the Sumbanese still live by ancient beliefs, ritually keeping the balance between the "Merapu" gods of the sky above and "Nyali," the Sea Goddess of the world below. The brothers journey 50,000 years into the past to live with Asmat headhunters in New Guinea. They eventually reach Bali where they build a home in a village of farmers, artists and mystics.
