About Creatures of Pain

Documentary

Synopsis

In 1967 I was hoping to make a film about sheepherders in Nigeria. Civil War intervened and I had to be content with a few days attending a ritual called “sharo” in a small village near Kano. It qualified as a true ‘ordeal’, a contest of endurance to pain.

Director: Robert Gardner
