Since 1962, Leni Riefenstahl had lived on and off with the Mesakin Nuba of the Kordofan region in the Sudan, sometimes for several months at a time. The Last of the Nuba is her record of the everyday rhythms of this tribal group; of eating, sleeping, building, gathering food and taking their leisure; of the great cycles of birth, marriage and death; and of the central factor of their culture and religion--the wrestling contest.
