[Indigenous] The Shomer was the Campfire winner for me. I see many similarities in Judaic culture and Aboriginal traditional ways and this film offers insight into an area often unseen and misunderstood by many. The Rabbi communicates with humor and clarity explaining in laymen's terms why ritual and ceremony coupled with strict gender protocols exist in all ancient cultures. I reckon he allows us through this film to gain greater insight into how ancient cultures pay respect to the one guaranteed destiny for us all, transition.
