Bone Whisperers
Talking to the bones of the dearly departed plays a central role in the funeral rites of the Pwo Karen people. This lively ritual is not only a sign of respect and remembrance for the dead, it also allows family members to share Buddhist merit with their departed relatives and make sure they cross safely into a heavenly abode. “Woe betide those who are not guided on their journey,” warns one singer-performer, “they will find themselves wandering henceforth forevermore.” Compellingly and discreetly filmed in well-composed camera shots, this documentary invites the viewer to take a seat amid this fascinating Karen ceremony.
