Living with the Matigsalug tribe
 I've just returned home after living with a primitive tribe in the Philippines called the Matigsalugs. My purpose was to investigate and document on film if they had a story about a global deluge. Many tribes and cultures across the world have some sort of tradition about a world wide flood, a man who built a boat to save his family and creation and the culmination of it coming to rest on a mountain. After a 26 hour plane ride to the Philippines, I trekked 50 miles into the jungle, dealt with tarantulas, cobras and had the ever constant threat of the N.P.A., New People's Army, a violent rebel group who terrorizes and kills for political gain.
