Shamanism in Korea

Korean documentary, narrated in English, about ancient folk rites which marked early religious practices in Korea and are still observed in some parts of the country. We see exorcism rituals involving childbirth and different phases of childhood, as well as wedding rituals and funeral rites, including the "washing exorcism" to calm the souls of the dead. The term "exorcist" is used interchangeably with "shaman." Many of the exorcists shown in the film are women. Many of the ceremonies are reenacted for this film, which was made, I believe, sometime in the 1980s, possibly earlier.
