A Documentary Film by James Weeks

THE FIRST INSIDER FILM ON
SACRED ETHNOMEDICAL YORUBA
AND SENEGALESE HEALING TRADITIONS

Across the King’s River artfully weaves African shamanism and modern science
against a backdrop of friendship, family and the larger issues of vanishing
cultures and languages. Fascinating profiles of diviners, healers and
world class scholars create an intellectually invigorating and soulful journey
that takes viewers to Nigeria, West Africa, the United Kingdom,
and Senegal, West Africa.
