Synopsis: The Pèrèpeople is a small ethnic group living on the Pèrè Plain. Their land is crossedby the Nigerian-Cameroonian border.Their tradition is endangered because of the strong Islamisation and the rural exodus.

In the nearby town of Ngaoundéré,  the Pèrè editorial staff at CRTV-Adamaoua struggles to preserve their people tradition and facilitate communication between the Pèrè and the modern world. This ethnographic film, made in close collaboration with Pèrè journalists, follows their work, trying to document traditions and shed light on challenges in the struggle to vitalize their culture.
