Entertaining and educational!,
This review is from: Speaking With God: A Mossi Diviner in Burkina Faso (DVD)
"Speaking with God" is a fascinating and well shot documentary about Mossi divination. While the film itself gives viewers a "behind the scenes" look at Mossi religious practices, the narrative by Dr. Christopher Roy explains the entire process, and provides insights on the meanings behind what the viewer sees. I especially liked the interview with the Mossi diviner, who explains in his own words the history of Baga divination, as well as his background as a religious leader. The film documents the entire process, beginning with the diviner putting on his costume, through the actual performance itself. This film is a great resource because it allows viewers to "experience" the performance, including the sounds, movements and community participation. These key aspects are lost when viewing a slide or printed image, but the film captures all of them! It is an interesting and entertaining film that could be enjoyed by any audience.
