She makes many voyages to Africa, where she researches the ritual healing dances initiated in Bwity among Pygmies in the Equatorial forest of Gabon. In 2006, she visited the pygmy people and decided to film and document their medicine man and how he used plants for all kinds of healing, as well as dance rituals. They collected plants for the rituals and found many different psychologies in the use of these plants and dance rituals. The success with these treatments was well above the success rates of western medicine. Each plant and tree had to be asked permission before they could take any part of them for the rituals. Animism was an important part of everything the medicine man did.
