another informative doc out there.”

- Kira Scurro

“I just looked and really liked the richness and opulence the clip conveys!

They sure celebrate things differently there. Is this a new series or a singular documentary?

I love those masks! Beautiful contrasts with the dancing and lady walking in a green field!

You have the gift of creativity and motivation that lots of people don't have.

I can't wait to see the whole documentary. If you need people to write reviews,

I would be glad to.”

- Insanity Jane

“Bob, thank you. I cannot wait for the movie. The music instantly grabbed my attention,

but the juxtaposition of the subjects riveted me. Very creative.

Is it premiering in LA too? PEACE!”

Rather, they believe that the dearly departed's spirit will return to earth embodying another human being. This return is called “Reincarnation.” Experience the preparations and execution of this fascinating cultural Ritual and Reality.

KECAK DANCE

Conceptualized as a TRANCE RITUAL the 80 plus men raise their hands up over their heads, flexing their fingers like fire-flames, all the while chanting “cak ke-cak kec-cak.” Pronounced “Ketjack or keh-chanhk.” Once in a trance-like state they are said to be communicating with their God or Ancestor’s Spirits.
