FOLK MEDICINE: HEALING & SPIRITUALITY

Screening of short film “Crooked Trees Gon Give Me Wings”

Savannah’s moss-covered forests are alive to Bertie Bee Hooks, a gifted granddaughter of a midwife. With the wisdom of folk medicine, Bertie Bee depends on mystical connections to the spirit world as she becomes exposed to the tragedies of a wounded American past.

Panelists include Film Writer & Director Cara Lawson; Ashoka Fellow & Founder of Birthing Project—Underground Railroad for New Life, Kathryn Hall Trujillo; Doulah & Healer Tauz TamuPovi; Ausettua AmorAmenkum who since the 1980s has engaged incarcerated women with performance & spiritual arts.
