In footage never before seen outside of Italy, the film immerses viewers in a world of ritual and magic, where ecstatic devotional music and dance powerfully transform and heal the heart and soul throughout the beautiful land once known as Magna Graecia. The film reveals this devotion in all its vibrant complexity as a living descendant of ancient women’s wisdom traditions and the veneration of mother goddesses.� �We follow a series of musical pilgrimages that Belloni leads each summer to the Southern Italian regions of Campania and Sicily, visiting the sacred sites of the Black Madonnas.
