I Am the Pain Doctor: Traditional Curer on the Island of Guam-Juan Cepeda



There are four parts to this wonderful documentary. It is one of the most respectful representations of our culture and our people. Outsider narratives telling our stories have so many layers of colonialist #*&% to sift thru. I can appreciate this man's work and giving serious study to an aspect of our culture that can well be what can usher us thru cultural, physical, environmental and spiritual survival and sustainability.
