Just saw this and couldn't quite believe what I was watching. I'm not a regular here at this forum but have enjoyed your posts before and though some of you guys might like this.

The BBC are doing a series on native peoples living in extreeme environments and sent a camera crew into film a tribe who live in tree houses. The last part of the program is a sort of "Making Of" section where all the unofficial fottage taken during the expedition is put together to show the behind the scenes story. The team seems to have comprised a senior producer, a male camera man and a relatively junior female memeber of staff. During a period of heavy rain the team have to enter the natives comunual house. All the native women are naked except for a grass skirt, which is normal for their culture. The team have to respect their guests culture so the woman has to go and sit at the female end of the Hut, while the men speak with the male natives at the other end.

The women (and Children) are obviously bemused by the English girls clothes and, presumeably wanting to welcome her, decide to get her into native costume. (This look very much like an initiation to me.) She is prety much helpless to object as they unbutton her blouse and begin to undress her. Even better the 2 male memebrs of the team obviously decide it is well worth filming.

Its not clear to me if she realized that this would be broadcasted or not. What has been broadcasted has been very carefully eddited, but I bet the camerman had much better footage that hasn't been shown.

I've done some screen caps which are atached but strongly recomend visiting the BBC Iplayer link bellow to see the video. The fun starts at 53 minutes. She genuinely looks suprised and awkward as she is being undressed, before trying to laugh it off. I think the look she give the guy filming her at the end tells you it wasn'nt planned though.
