The King of the Nile - The Shilluk (Nilotic Tribe Documentary) | TRACKS
We closely follow a change of throne in the Shilluk kingdom in this documentary.
The Shilluk are Nilotic people living along the Nile in Sudan. According to local history, their kingdom was founded in the 16th century by Nyikang who united the various groups living in the area. The Shilluk dynasty rules from the royal capital Pashoda and when there's a change of throne, the tradition requires specific acts where everyone in the tribe participates.
The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes and the Meo of China.

While the battlements of ancient fortresses standing on shore are occasional reminders of the region’s violent past, he is able to contemplate that era from the relative peace of the wide river.
