| Description: |
The Akha Way is like a road leading back to the past where the ancestors dwell and forward into an uncertain future. For a millennium, the Akha have inhabited the hills of Southeast Asia. The Akha Way, or Akhazaunh, is their code of life. This documentary describes their origins and culture. Watch a shaman healing ceremony; a funeral with the ritual sacrifice of a water buffalo; the reading of a pig's liver after a new house is built. Now the Akha Way is endangered by forced migration, Christianization,money, and drugs. |
