A man posessed by the spirt of his ancestors
convulses on the ground at Dr.Sekagya's forest school south of Kampala,
Uganda. About a hundred students -- local healers, but also patients with
AIDS looking for traditional treatments -- gather weekly under a glittering
canopy. Along with the basics of hygiene and anatomy, students study the
identification and use of local plants. Meanwhile, spiritualists chant, dance
and drum to call down spirits and consult them for cures.
