DESCRIPTION
Over three hundred miles south of the Philippine capital of Manila lies the tropical island of Siquijor, famous for its traditional healers, sorcerers, and witches. "Shamans of Siquijor" follows three healers to learn about their practices and beliefs. With guidance from the supernatural world, healers cure illnesses using medicinal herbs, incantations, a magical prayer wheel, and other means. Is folk healing still valuable for the social and spiritual life of the community or just a dying relic of old traditions?

The documentary is an introduction to this healing culture. It is useful as a teaching tool when viewed as a companion piece to existing academic texts by anthropologists, which present in-depth analyses of healing and sorcery practices in the Philippines.

Shamans of Siquijor: The Healers (Educational, institutional, non-profit use) Review

Brillantes smartly leaves out voice over narration that often steers a documentary towards a particular point of view. Instead, the filmmaker gives space to people's words and actions to tell the story. One of the main characters of this film is the island of Siquijor itself which is shot both beautifully and truthfully, without romanticizing the setting. This is an excellent introduction to a rich and little known topic that will leave you asking more questions.
