Hi Adom, thanks for your comments.. where abouts does your sister live? I tried to find someone who lived on a boat to film, but it was really hard to get people to allow me to film them.
I'm also a hairdresser so the anth of hair really interests me, as it often gets so taken for granted that there's not a lot of anth research into it. I'm thinking of making a film about it over the next year!
Tell me more about your research, sounds intriguing, not sure what you you mean by 'male kinship experience' - do you mean the kind of relationships men have within families?
