Keep the river on your right is the name of a documentary that we have watched today in Emily's class. Tobias Schmeebaum, an antropologist and painter, narrates some of the stories of his life and his journeys. He is a Jewish New Yorker who is openly homosexual and tries to find the nature of homosexuality in every culture. At first, the documentary shows his journey to Asmat where he gets started into sexual practices with an indigenous male. Then in 1956 he meets and Archeologist and travels to the jungles of Peru.
