An intriguing film that unravels the myth of Nigeria’s Hyena People, who arrive in towns wrapped in rock pythons, with hyenas in chains and with trained monkeys turning somersaults. Some believe that they are part animal and possess magical powers. The reality is that they are travelling minstrels earning money by performing with animals. This examines the clash between the urban and the wild, and the paradoxical relationship that the handlers have with their animals – sometimes loving, sometimes brutal and cruel.

The lady is making precise and some subjective statements as if she grew up in Nigeria. I'v lived in Nigeria all my life and I've never seen these guys around. The fact that more and more Nigerians are claiming they haven't witnessed this stuff first hand goes to show that it's a very obscured and unpopular practice but the narrator makes it look like it's a very common phenomenon. There's a way I pay attention when non Africans are narrating African culture and practices because most times it has racial undertone and bias which is as a result of ignorance.


I am a Nigerian who has lived in Nigeria for 40 years and yet I have never seen this kind of street performance. Thanks to the people who made the documentary. And i am glad the people are upholding their culture despite all these western influence. But i felt so uncomfortable watching these extreme acts. I am even shaking my head and cringing as I watch. I stopped at 16:01. May finish it another day



Africans we love our culture and we're still powerful we proud of that👍👍




I've noticed that too. The way they narrate these stories are extremely biased. They go to one place and make it seem like the whole country is like that lol

queen 'Araweela that’s how esteem media does. They find the most extreme and most impoverished places they can find and portray it as the entire country.

The hyena men are seen mostly in the north making a show for interested spectators. They are clearly speaking Hausa so u can't dispute their nationality.

In Nigeria there is a very mysterious band of brothers, a colourful troop of entertainers who are actually medicine men,they have a very interesting marketing tool as they perform with dangerous animals in order to attract crowds.The hyena men as they are referred to, were born into this tradition that they have perfected, generation after the generation.

The animal handlers tame wild hyenas from a young age and have an entourage of snakes and baboons in football kits. "I have been doing this since I was five", says a wiry man crouching next to his hyena. "Since the animal was little, I've been feeding him, giving him meat and medicine." Now the beast is tame enough to be tethered, paraded and wrestled with in public. But the hyena boys must also be tamed, fed strange medicines from infancy, and plied with snakes to be integrated into the community fuelled by the belief that they are spiritually connected to the animals.
