...Gawd," says Joy, as she walks wearily home through a London slum to her sordid flat and the petty thief she lives with. "If anyone saw me now, they'd say, 'She's had a rough night, poor cow.' " She has had more than that. But no need to worry; the important thing about this poor cow-and this film-is that the rough nights and days cannot get either of them down.

Even in recent years, the Masai have continued to carry spears, smear their bodies with a red ocher pigment, hang weighty baubles in their pendulous ear lobes and quaff their favorite brew of clotted steer's blood, curdled milk and cow urine. Now Tanzanian President Ju lius Nyerere has decided that it is time for the Masai to pick up some civilized habits. In a policy designed to stamp out "ancient, unhealthy customs," he has ordered the 100,000 Masai to put on some clothes, abandon their tribal rituals and start...
