Former cannibal from Papua's Dani tribe

About 300 indigenous tribes live deep in Papua's forests, having survived off the grid for thousands of years. We went in search of one of these tribes - the Dani tribe, who are known to be fierce warriors, and who used to practice bizarre age-old rituals that include cannibalism and self-mutilation.

On our journey, we met 73-year-old Yudas in one of the villages perched in Baliem Valley, and heard about how he participated in a tribe killing to avenge his late brother.
