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. The documentary is an introduction to this healing culture. Is folk healing still valuable for the social and spiritual life of the community or just a dying relic of old traditions?

Summary: Shamans of Siquijor
Comment: The SHAMANS OF SIQUIJOR is a fascinating film! Particularly adept, is the way we watch the healers and the hopefulls participate, without any intrusive overview. It's as if we've come upon the village ourselves, and met up with this fascinating old (but not ancient, as it includes Catholicism) culture of faith. I found the mix of the indigenous and the Catholic especially interesting. The real people who come from all over the world, including the rural US, are absolutely fascinating. Brillantes knows how to let the story unfold.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Watch, Travel and Learn
Comment: 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.
