This film explores the integration of religion and plant-based medicine in an Ewe Vodu community in southern Togo. Here, concerns are growing that knowledge regarding local plants and medicines is declining in the area. First, the head priest of the village and his assistant lead us through several herbal medicinal formulas. We weave these explanations together with those of a botanist in Ghana who is working with a professional venture that seeks to protect and nurture indigenous botanical materials. -- Web site.
