Ikland

Ikland is a 2011 documentary film about a journey through the mountains of northeastern Uganda, along the Kenyan border, toward an encounter with the Ik.

[3] Ikland follows the documentary makers as they meet with the Ik, and revisits Turnbull's description in the context of local circumstances.

Turnbull concluded that the Ik would eventually die out, and urged the Ugandan government to forcibly disperse survivors, and dilute their identity within disparate reaches of the country.

On their way north from Kampala, Soling's crew encountered both friendly tribesmen and armed militia, eventually reaching the Ik after many experiences.

[1][5][6] Soling convinced Ik residents of a particularly remote village to perform a theatrical adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, as a metaphor for the redemption of their international reputations.

According to Soling, the tribe was unaware of The Mountain People text, but did know of a man called Turnbull who had spread "malicious lies" about them.
