wocomoHUMANITY | Exorcism in Islam - Demons, devils, and supernatural encounters (Documentary, 2015) @wocomoHUMANITY | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 43 minutes ago.
The belief in demons or "djinn" is widespread in Islamic culture, but has been little studied so far. In a subjective search for clues, the documentary follows the true story of Aya, a four-year-old Jordanian girl who was killed by her father because he believed her to be possessed. Investigations lead director Dalia Al Kury into an obscure parallel world of traditions and rituals. Disturbing yet fascinating encounters with jinn exorcists and possessed people reveal the contradictions of their society and ultimately force the director to confront her own fears and demons.
