A Documentary Film

The award-winning documentary “Mama Irene: Healer of the Andes” offers an intimate glimpse into the life of Mama Irene, a revered Andean healer. The film reveals her secret Indigenous healing methods as she compassionately treats everyone who arrives at her door — from local women who travel for hours or even days across the rugged Andes, to a medical doctor from India seeking a cure for an illness where Western medicine has fallen short.

Viewers are taken on a journey through ancient spiritual ceremonies, such as the Snow Star Festival, where thousands of pilgrims gather each year in Sinakara Valley, high in the Peruvian Andes. More than just a record of endangered traditions, “Mama Irene” tells a story of female empowerment. Having been showcased at 25 film festivals worldwide and honored with numerous awards, the documentary recently won the Audience Award (Prix du Public) at the 6th Festival International du Film des Traditions Ancestrales et les Spiritualités Chamaniques in Sarlat, France.

Filmmaker Elisabeth Möhlmann and her entire team are deeply grateful for the heartfelt responses from audiences across the globe. “Mama Irene” continues to inspire, and the film is now available for purchase on their website, and we warmly invite you to experience her powerful story.
