This film has been made by a number of blind women filmmakers to answer that question.

Seven children sat in a clearing outside dome-shaped shelters in a clearing in the forest. The shelters are made from branches that are bent into arcs to form a framework that is covered with leaves, and some mats or sheets of bark or woven material have been placed on some of the roofs for extra covering. In the bottom left of the image one child is sat on a raised platform made of logs that is outside a shelter made of logs and with open sides. In the background at the centre metal vessels are visible just outside the entrance to a shelter, and a child is visible standing up inside the shelter.

Seven men and youths sat on the ground outside a building made of wooden poles and mud with a thatched roof. The youth second from the left is playing a geedal, or bow harp, a seven-stringed musical instrument, and is using both hands to pluck the strings. The instrument consists of a sound box, in one end of which is inserted a curved stick that projects outwards and upwards. On this stick are attached seven tuning pegs. A string is strung from each peg and attached to the sound box. The youth second from the right is sitting on a carved upturned vessel that is goblet shaped.

This beautifully photographed film documents an unusual healing ceremony in Senegal. It shows how a community gathers together to treat and heal one of its members who is suffering from postpartum depression. After giving birth, the young woman refuses to care for her child. Years before her mother and grandmother had been treated for a similar illness by the same shaman, Fat Seck.The ceremony, called the Ndepp, is organized by the Lebou people of Senegal to honor their ancestral spirits and to ask them to allow a cure to take place. Performed over seven days and nights, the Ndepp is complicated with a precise set of rules. A large part of the population participates. Fat Seck, the healer, resolves this family problem. Trances and sacrifices are part of the cure. After the week, the young woman is restored to normal behavior, an effective mother and community member. College Adult
