Tribal Wives - Series 1 - Maasai/Tanzaniai

In this series six women each live for a month with six different tribes all over the world. Like many women today juggling with the pressures of western life from careers to home and family, they all think something is missing. By spending time with tribes where women's roles are very different, they hope they can find some answers, and in doing so, change their own lives. The Maasai are one of the world's most famous and largest tribes in Africa. They are polygamous, with men allowed to have up to ten wives, and women expected to marry and bear children from the age of 14. They still practise female circumcision and shave their heads and scar their faces as signs of beauty. Living with them for the next month is 33-year-old teacher and life coach Dionne Braham. She's single and lives at home with her mum in London. She hasn't had any luck with men and has given up on ever finding the right one. With no relationship and uncertain about whether she'll ever have children, she feels stuck in a rut. Living as a Maasai woman and learning from their lives, she makes a radical choice.
