In 2006, we took you back to the Stone Age to meet the last of the cannibals. A tribe called the Korowai, who live in the jungles of West Papua, just as they did 10,000 years ago. They still believe in witchcraft, they still eat human flesh. It was an amazing experience for reporter Ben Fordham. So too was finding a frightened child named Wawa. Just a boy, but the Korowai are convinced he's possessed by evil spirits. For this, tribal law says he can be killed and eaten. It was time to go back into the jungle for the truth.
