This new programme begins at the most exciting, and extraordinary, time of year in the Woodabe calendar: the season of courtship rituals. Once a year, at the end of the rainy season, when there is enough grass to feed large herds, the Woodabe meet to celebrate the Gerewal festival. This festival lasts for seven days and is an opportunity for the nomads to meet and exchange news. During these rituals, the men famously decorate their tall, athletic bodies in what appears to be a feminine way. Beauty, for the Woodabe, is there to be admired and encouraged. In fact, these beauty contests have the combined feel of a sport, a ceremony and a celebration. The young Woodabe \'warriors\' will compete to be the most desirable to the women. The winner of the Gerewal will be admired for many generations to come. He\'ll win the chance to marry several women, and mix with many others - all because he is the most beautiful young man of all. We observe the dramatic build-up to the Gerewal through the excitement, concerns and ambitions of our characters. Young Woodabe herdsmen tell us how \'winning\' will bring attention and \'love\' into their lives. For the women, it\'s their chance to find the best man. For older Woodabe (who no longer partake in the contests), the rituals bind together the clans. During a Gerewal, clans will compete, but overall it\'s a happy and necessary coming together of a people constantly on the move.
