Shamanism

Talkback

Submit your thoughts on DEATH OF A SHAMAN.

We invite you to respond to the questions below or add your comments. Selected submissions will be posted on our Talkback page, so check back regularly and join the discussion.
  • In Thailand, Fahm’s father Yoon was a highly respected shaman. But in the United States, he was a “nobody.” What reasons do you feel accounted for this change? What do you think Yoon lost when he left his homeland?

  • In order to find out more about her family’s past, Fahm returns to two of her childhood homes: Kansas and Thailand. How have your childhood homes shaped who you are today? Have you returned to them as an adult?

  • The Saeyang family in DEATH OF A SHAMAN preserves its history through the use of videotape. How do you document your history—as an individual, and as part of a family? Why do you think it is important to do this?
