Bono Medicines
- 1982 ----- color ----- 69 min ----- 16mm
- (Part 1) For millenia traditional people have attended to their own medical needs as in the Techiman district of rural Ghana. Explores the Bono people's medical and religious life through the work of indigenous healers who are also spiritual leaders. (Part 2) This is also a story of western healthworkers in Techiman who began teaching the healers the basics of western preventive healthcare. Buoyed by this cooperative effort, the healers began to organize within their own ranks--meeting to discuss the future of their practices, taking the initiative to improve sanitary conditions in their villages and planting an arboretum to assure future access to their plant medicines.
