[00:00:00]What if I told you there's a tribe [music] where beauty is measured by how much pain you can?

[00:00:04]In the remote regions of Ethiopia >> [music] >> lives the Suri tribe and their idea of beauty will shock you. Young girls voluntarily cut their lower lip and >> [music] >> slowly stretch it by inserting larger and larger clay plates.

[00:00:17]The bigger the lip [music] plate, the more respect and status they gain in the tribe. For them, this isn't strange.

[00:00:24]It's a symbol of strength, maturity, and identity. [music] Even men prove their worth through brutal stick fighting battles called Donga, where injuries are [music] common. In the Suri tribe, beauty and respect are not given. They are earned through courage and endurance.
