Tribe's Bruce Parry smothers a goat to death in brutal scenes for reboot of BBC show

ok.co.uk:

Bruce Parry is making a dramatic return to television after nearly ten years, starring in the revived series of Tribe, where he's faced with the harrowing task of killing a goat with his bare hands for the show.The original BBC2 series, which aired from 2005 to 2007, saw Bruce Parry explore various indigenous cultures before he ventured on to other projects.The intrepid explorer, now 55, has since presented Arctic with Bruce Parry in 2011 and released his independent film Tawai: A Voice from the Forest in 2017.Tribe is back on the BBC, with Bruce embarking on three new expeditions to some of the planet's most isolated communities in Colombia, Angola, and Indonesia.

Immersing himself fully, Bruce lives alongside these indigenous peoples, embracing their traditions, participating in rituals, and even bedding down in cow dung. "I don't want to be a guest," he insists, "I want to be like a family member." In Angola's Namib Desert, Bruce joins the Mucubal tribe, who are emerging from the shadows of civil conflict.

His initiation into their way of life is challenging, as he's expected to perform a traditional goat-killing ritual without weapons, which would be seen as disrespectful.

Bruce confesses, "I really didn't want to do this," adding, "As program makers, we're not out looking for this. But it was culturally expected." Bruce candidly shared his on-set jitters, admitting his grip loosened for a split second.
