In one of the last remote forests of the Philippines on the island of Palawan, Medsinu an old shaman, traditional healer and spiritual guide is worrying about his own people’s survival. When he died, Medsinu left behind him an orphan society. A deafening sound of bulldozers, backhoe machines, opening a track close to the Palawans’ huts. Without a shaman and having lost their bearings, facing modern intrusion from an outside world, the Palawan people feel like orphans. They are looking for a new shaman.
