Altai Pilgrimage
In June 2007 our film crew was invited to make a pilgrimage to a sacred mountain in the Ooch Enmek Nature Park in the Altai Republic of Russia. Before starting the three-day journey, the park’s founder, Danil Mamyev, was blessed by the local shaman, Arzhan, who offered milk to the fire. Danil then ascended the mountain in a wild rain, snow and hail storm to make his offerings and whisper his prayers.

This is an amazing film clip. Is there a film or more information about the Altai region? Are you planning to do a film about the Altai for the Sacred Land Film Project. Thank you. Viviane
