He’s documented indigenous and tribal cultures around the world in an effort to portray the lives they live and the challenges they face.

Phil’s 2017 project Crazy Wise, explores cultural differences with respect to consciousness, mental illness and the relevance of Shamanic traditional practices and beliefs to those of us living in the modern world. And it was this film of his that I watched immediately before speaking with him.
Without further introduction, I give you Phil Borges.
