| Description | This film discusses the social and cultural adjustments that man has created to deal with death and bereavement. The film compares death concepts and rituals between the Americans of the continental United States, the Bantu of Africa, and the Kiriwina of the Trobian Islands. Dancers from Texas Southern University illustrate the three different cultures in modern interpretive dance. This film runs best using Apple's QuickTime video software.
