Summaries

Grisi siknis, or crazy sickness, is a contagious, culture-bound syndrome that occurs predominantly among the Miskito People of eastern Central America and affects mainly young women. This documentary looks at a community afflicted by this disease and questions cultural, environmental, and physiological factors that make it such a mystery to modern science.—Anonymous
