This movie reveals the healing ritual called the N'Deup Healing Ceremony. Every gesture has a meaning: the dances, the millet, the beat of the drums together with the litanies pronounced by the priestess.
In Senegal and almost all West Africa, illnesses are considered to be the result of supernatural aggression. The N'DEUP Healing Ceremony enlists the community under the direction of the N'deupkot. Drums, dance remedies and bloodletting are employed in the effort to appease the agitated spirit.—Leslye Abbey
