This is an important festival and I appreciate the footage of the event. It would have been helpful if the red narrative was either spread out, like a subtitle, line for line, under the event or spoken by the same man who shared about his experience with the ancestors... I could not read the history of Jonkunno fast enough to follow the script so if I wasn't able to pause the film online, I would not have understood the meaning of the event.
