| Summary: | During Mongolia's seventy years of domination by the Soviet Union, shamanism, like many aspects of Mongolian tradition, was forbidden by the Communist authorities, and went into decline. Since the early 1990s, however, it has been undergoing a revival, and is rapidly regaining its place in Mongolian cultural identity. This film explores the life of the shaman-master Tomor, at his centre in Ulaanbaatar, the capital. |
