It sounds like the premise of a thrilling new HBO Max TV series…
It’s the year 2022 and there exists an island that has remained largely unvisited by humanity because of a fear of the tribal inhabitants that live on it. A fear that this tribe might kill any visitors they see, as they have done in the past, but also a fear that visitors could inadvertently kill members of the tribe by passing on an infection they haven’t acquired immunity from.
This isn’t the premise of a fictional TV series, it’s real life. The island in question is just off the coast of India in the Bay of Bengal and it’s called North Sentinel Island.
