Children of Honey follows three young Hadza friends—Nd!uba, Nguilabe, and Embilibi—at a critical crossroads of their once-peaceful hunter-gatherer community. With 90% of their ancestral land lost and modern pressures mounting, they must decide whether to hold onto their ancient traditions or be pulled into modernity. Alcohol, which the Hadza cannot metabolise, has become a devastating force, causing violence and disintegration of family bonds. As the community faces climate change, land loss, and internal collapse, these three young Hadza must navigate an uncertain future. The decisions they make over the next two summers will shape not only their own lives but the future of the Hadza people, in a film that offers an unprecedented, intimate look at an ancient culture on the brink of transformation.

“We are Hadzabe and we want the world to know who we are” Children of Honey amplifies the voices of the Hadzabe and other hunter-gatherer communities around the world, empowering them to safeguard their cultural heritage and lead their own solutions. Our impact campaign will support Hadza-led initiatives such as the revival of their endangered Hadzane language and community-driven conservation efforts. It will shed light on Indigenous Knowledge Systems, to inspire a shift in how global audiences perceive nature—not as a resource to exploit, but as a home, and a spiritual place, we all are inherently part of. We will work to ensure that Indigenous voices are heard, their rights are respected, and their ways of life are preserved for future generations.
