Help of the Invisible: Himalayan Oracles

"Help of the Invisible" offers an intimate glimpse into the world of Himalayan oracles — a phenomenon virtually unknown in the West. Since time immemorial, people in various parts of the world have connected with beings from the unseen realm to offer counsel, predict the future, heal, cleanse negative energies, and perform exorcism. While we in the West know this phenomenon only from history through the oracles of Delphi, in the Ladakh region, culturally and ethnically belonging to Tibet, it has thrived for centuries.

The Tibetan exile government is the only one in the world that includes a state oracle, who simultaneously serves as an advisor to the Dalai Lama. Oracles are normally not permitted to be filmed — the film therefore presents an exceptional documentary.
