Warime, the Masks of the Gods
Synopsis
Warime is a traditional ceremony that serves as a way for the community to connect with the spiritual world and seek guidance from their ancestors. During the ritual, participants gather around a sacred fire and perform dances, songs, and chants to invoke the spirits. Offerings such as food, drinks, and tobacco are presented to the spirits as a sign of respect and gratitude. Through Warime, the Wojtüja people believe they can communicate with their ancestors and receive blessings and protection for the community. It is a deeply spiritual and meaningful ceremony that highlights the strong connection between the Wojtüja people and the natural world. Join us as we witness the beauty and significance of Warime and gain a deeper understanding of the rich cultural traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Venezuelan Amazon.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
