Jean Rouch gives a group of black and white teenagers a "what if" question: what if they socialised with each other? The teenagers then improvise their own characters and situations.

Reviews
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Charbax I attended 21 movies and discussions at the Midnight Sun Film Festival 2003 in the north of Finland.La Pyramide Humaine was my absolute favorite. It has so touching moments in it, it's incredible. It's Cinema Vérité that hurts. It's making a movie for the movie to become cool, and not having books of pre-calculated knowledge about how the movie is to be made. Just knowing what a cool movie is, and capturing the cool moments once one is at that cool location with those cool people.This movie-experience is incredible.
