South Korea - Shamans and Cellphones

In South Korea, people are as passionate about magic and shamanism as about technology

South Korea is a nation divided in two - a world of spirits and magic versus a world of business and practicality. The two worlds exist side by side, with a strong belief in magic and shamanism that some Koreans believe will help them become leaders in world technology. The show meets a female shaman and finds out about her work.
