Les îles Bissagos : la terre des guérisseurs en Afrique de l'Ouest | Vue sur Terre | Documentaire HD

The Bissagos Islands, a remote territory in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. These sacred lands resemble a vast river delta. Marcelinho is a traditional healer in Empincha, a village on Carache Island. He learned traditional medicine from his father and began treating the inhabitants of the northern islands with him. A few years ago, Marcelinho received training in the fundamental principles of modern Western medicine from foreign doctors.

Quintino, on the island of Caravella, is preparing to experience the most important phase of his life: the fanado, the highest initiation rite that will open a mysterious and secret world to him.
