WAKE

View Tha RIGHT Thing™

Blafrokan Reflections:

• The Wake, a funerary rite and tradition? What do you know of its origin and purpose?
• What do you know of root workers? Do you have negative, positive or neutral view of this indigenous spiritual tradition?
• What are the consequences, if any of dabbling in spiritual practices without wisdom, knowledge, proper rites and respect for spiritual traditions?
• What do you think the filmmaker was trying to convey and what did you take from the film?
