The Blairs sail to Komodo and film the giant, carnivorous lizards of “Dragon Island”, whose tiny human population is descended from the people who were banished there by the neighboring sultans of Bima. On Sumba island the brothers witness a veiled form of human sacrifice by equestrian warriors. Master weavers of magical textiles, the Sumbanese still live by ancient beliefs, ritually keeping the balance between the Merapu gods of the sky above, and Nyali, the Sea Goddess of the world below. The Blairs journey 50,000 years into the past to live with the Asmat headhunters in New Guinea. They eventually reach Bali where they build a home in a village of farmers, artists and mystics.
