The Shrine
July 27, 2011 by Jim Spickard.
Film Info: “The Shrine” (1989) – 46 minutes
Distributor: ???????????
Summary: Depicts the Holy Week pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico; very useful for appreciation of folk religion, the time-space structure of pilgrimages, and the importance of sacred place both in America’s Hispanic and Indian cultural heritages.
Film notice taken (with permission) from the “Teaching Resources” list in Meredith McGuire’s Religion: The Social Context, third edition. Her 5th edition (available from Waveland Press: see www.religionthesocialcontext.com) does not contain the resource list. I have only traced some of these films to current distributors. Please post updated information about them, if you have it. – JS

Indonesia: The Way of the Ancestors
July 27, 2011 by Jim Spickard.
Film Info: Part of “The Long Search”, a 1977 BBC series hosted by Ronald Eyre – 52 minutes
Distributor: Ambrose Videos has the entire series on DVD for $99
Summary: There are almost 200 million people scattered across the world who belong to tribal religions that are local, exclusive and frequently animist - i.e., they believe that inanimate objects and natural phenomena possess a soul. Though no single group can be chosen as typical, this episode is devoted to primal religion-that of the Torajas who live in a mountain fortress on an Indonesian island.
