Heard of a film where a group of native people were let loose into the "modern" world with a camera? Basically, their brief was to do in reverse, what the "modern" world has done to them with their "exploring social customs and quaint lifestyles" documentaries. Any idea of what documentary this is? My google-fu is failing me on this one. Thanks!

There was a nice comprehensive post on some shows like this on the blue the other day.

That was my post! You might also be thinking of Return of the Tribe, which follows a similar format but instead features the Swagap people of Papua New Guinea.

There's also the fairly well-known "Navajo Project" of Sol Worth. Clearly not the exact thing you were looking for, but potentially of interest, anyway.
