In some parts of West Africa, hunting involves much more than killing animals. A donso is no common hunter, but a healer, a diviner, a ritual specialist and a maker of amulets that provide him with extraordinary powers. Kalanda - The Knowledge of the Bush offers a unique initiatory journey into the knowledge of the donsoya hunter's association from the perspective of the filmmaker. It was filmed over the course of a year of field research in Burkina Faso and is based directly upon the filmmaker's own initiation into the practice of donsoya
