Dodoth Morning is a 1976 film by ethnographic filmmaker Tim Asch.[1]
A documentary film that follows a morning in the life of a family of the Dodoth people in northeast Uganda in 1961, a year when too heavy rains threatened to destroy the millet, which the people grew before the pillboxes in addition to their diet.[2][3] This film features a time when too much rain threatened to rot the millet that is grown to supplement their diet, and the events that follow. It was completed in 1963.[2]
The film begins in the early morning and tells about the headman, his four wives and his family doing their daily chores. Tension builds and flares up during a domestic dispute between father and son.[3]
The film is distributed by Documentary Educational Resources.
