Tribal Wives
A revelatory second series from Diverse Productions for BBC TWO.
Six British women are given the opportunity to travel to some of the most remote parts of the world and experience life and acting as a “second wife” by shadowing a tribesman’s real wife in her daily duties.
Viewers gain an insight into how tribal women really live in a way that has never been explored before. They can follow the progress of the tribal wife to see if she is accepted by the community and is able to rise to the challenges thrown at her by her new life – or whether she simply misses her Western lifestyle too much to truly benefit from the experience.
