The Jarawa people are one of the last afro-Asians people of the world. These hunters-gatherers are living in the Andaman Islands, in India, for thousands and thousands of years. They are believed to have taken part in the very first human migrations from Africa to the rest of the world, some 70,000 years ago. Since then, the Andamans islands had become a top touristic destination and the situation of the Jarawa people has severely deteriorated. It is forbidden to enter their territory, but for the last four years, Claire Beilvert has managed to meet the Jarawa people several times to document their life. They told her their story of their foreseeable disappearance, of forceful assimilation.They are only 420 people left. The Jarawa Chronicles is a testimony of this beautiful and fragile world.
