Coupeurs de Feu

Feature documentary film in financing.   

How do you document the invisible?

In the French Alps, people “with the gift” have been removing pain from fire burns for centuries. Now, with a single phone call they can eleviate the pain in an instant. Unrecognized by science, they fill hundreds of demands each day. Slowly entering the standard medical field, intervening in hospitals for great burns or radiotherapy patients, their presence and ancestral techniques challenge the established order and what we understand of the mecanics of the brain.

The film explore our relationship with the unexplainable, the connection between the mind and the body, the mystical energies of nature and the growing search for holistic medicines.
