In the Sahel desert in Chad, the nomadic Wodaabe people spend months apart. When the rains are good, the clans celebrate with an extraordinary courtship ritual and beauty contest called The Gerewol and it's the men who are on parade. Chad seems an unlikely place to be so concerned with beauty. Yet it is an important part of the culture. Each person an artist. Living art, displaying their beauty as a spiritual act full of honor.
