Exploring the work of Margaret Mead, this film investigates the 12 months Mead spent with the Samoans in the Twenties. Her resulting book, Coming Of Age In Samoa, had a huge impact on Western culture. Mead believed cultures like the Samoans could teach people how to live in harmony. Her book depicts a society of free love -- devoid of jealousy and teenage turmoil. But, decades later, her work was criticised as being tainted by her romantic views and strong belief in liberal values. Tales From The Jungle examines whether Mead's study was merely misinterpretation and romantic wishful thinking.

i hate dramatic reconstructions. this is stupid; in the sepia toned clips, they're at Papase'ea sliding rocks in Upolu. it irritates me because the whole story is on AmSam. secondly, im ambivalent towards Freeman but im so not feeling the bias BBC is engaged in through this whole programme: they're making him look unneccessarily loony and crazy

Yes, liberals like Mead are the worst racists of all. They insult all humanity with their lies.

This video errs in using the general term Anthropology when they are referring to Cultural Anthropology. This is not about physical anthropolgy>

Wow, that is my great grandmother that they interviewed at the beginning of this clip. May she rest in peace.

it was the other chap who mentioned objectivity speaking up for freeman- its difficult to even watch a you tube video with objectivity =no subjective lens no anthropology...and how unethical were those aaa handjobs!

It was very arrogant of Freeman to say (allegedly) that he was "objective." No one is objective in science. One can have a perfect sample size, with a perfect methodology to analyze data, and the observer can still be biased in his/her analysis for whatever reason. Just look at the fiascos in clinical trials where there are methods other than observational field work.
