Watch Itako - Visions

Itako are female shamans, traditionally blind, that live in Northern Honsu, in the Aomori prefecture, in Japan. At the insistence of a relative, by a ritual made of prayers and chants, they create a connection to the departed, a communication with the afterlife. The film is a thought on the evolution of religion and on how the materialism is completely useless when human fragility faces to death.

Itako - Visions is a 2017 documentary with a runtime of 52 minutes.
