Description: Traditionally, African prophets, priests and shamans have linked ordinary people with the power to heal, to manipulate nature and to influence the future through rituals and magic, through extraordinary perceptions associated with visions and dreams. Against this background, the film shows beliefs and practices that emerge when the Judeo-Christian faith is interpreted by Africans themselves in their own religious and cultural contexts.
