This video segment from Nature/National Geographic describes the life of Flora Salonik, who moved from the city of Arusha to her husband's remote village called Kijungu. After 11 years, Flora travels back to the city to modern conveniences and her family. But soon after she arrives she discovers she prefers her life in Kijungu and decides to return. It is hard for her family in Arusha to understand why Flora chooses a life so different from their own, but Flora has found happiness among the Dorobo people. Learn more about Flora's story in the three-part video series that includes "Flora's Motivation" and "A Hard and Lonely Life."
