The Ancestral Wisdom Bridge Foundation has partnered with UK filmmaker, Longbelly Entertainment Ltd to host a special screening of their groundbreaking documentary entitled, 'Ancestral Voices: Esoteric African Knowledge' followed by a provocative lecture by Dr. Somé at the Madison Theater, Albany, NY. The documentary and lecture seek to demystify "the negative stigma and misconceptions surrounding African spirituality and investigates similar tenets found in many established mainstream religions," says the film's producers.
In producing the documentary, filmmakers Verona Spence & Dalian Adofo interviewed traditional medicine men and women (shamans) from the Greater Accra, Eastern and Ashanti regions in Ghana, West Africa as well as a range of individuals from different faiths who shared their experiences, knowledge and perceptions of traditional African spiritual practices, also called African Traditional Religion (ATR).
