Video Description

We invite you to discover the Bissagos Islands, an isolated territory of Guinee Bissau, in West Africa. These sacred lands resemble a vast river delta. Marcelinho is a traditional healer from Empincha, a village situated on the island of Carache in the Bijagos Islands. He learned the art of traditional medicine from his father and has been practicing it to treat people in the northern islands. In recent years, Marcelinho has also received training in the fundamentals of modern western medicine from foreign doctors. The Bissagos Islands are home to the island of Orango, situated in the far south, and designated as a World Biosphere Reserve and the country's first National Park. Pedro, a generous man, resides on this island and works as a reporter for Okinka Pampa, Orango's small radio station. He is always on the lookout for stories to share with his listeners. Quintino, residing on the island of Caravella, is preparing for the fanado, the highest initiation rite that will unlock a mysterious and secret world to him. This rite is considered the most important phase of his life and is celebrated by the community with great enthusiasm. Director: Laurent Cadoret Series: Around the World
