Seems this series has flown way under-the-radar, which is shocking to me. But then, if it wasn't for the pandemic and a lot of free time, I may not have discovered it! Beyond Survival is an in-depth, non-sensationalistic look at indigenous cultures of the world. Speaking as one who studied cultural anthropology, this is very well done. It's beautiful to look at, engaging and informative. Stroud simultaneously immerses himself in their ways while keeping a respectful distance as they go about their days. From the San Bushmen of the Kalahari, to Incan priests of the Andes and so on, this series gives us a peak into the ways of vanishing tribes and their customs. This series should be required viewing in all freshman level anthropology classes. I highly recommend it!
