Mama Irene : healer of the Andes / a Blaze A Path production ; a film by Bettina Ehrhardt and Elisabeth M©œhlmann ; written and directed by Bettina Ehrhardt and Elisabeth M©œhlmann ; produced by Elisabeth M©œhlmann ; co-produced by Torsten B©œnnhoff.
This is a film about Mama Irene, a remarkable 86-year-old woman Shaman (healer) from Peru who draws upon indigenous knowledge and traditions in danger of being lost forever. Yet her craft is based primarily on her own intuition: "Spirits have told me in my dreams how to proceed." The documentary follows Mama Irene in her everyday life, highlighting her healing methods and passion to serve each patient who knocks on her door: from local women who travel hours or days by foot through the Andes, to a medical doctor from India seeking a cure for illness that Western medicine had failed to help.
