TEARS OF THE SKY: Coming Home to Meeting with Ancient Healers in Contemporary Mongolia
Animated short in promotion of feature length documentary animation film debuting later this year.
Eriko's short gives us a glimpse into her upcoming feature length international documentary film project, which chronicles her journey back to her home country of Mongolia after twenty years of absence. In search of her Shamanic identity, she studies, researches, experiences, and discovers first-hand Mongolian Shamanism. The film project follows the journey of the marginal woman on a spiritual, metaphysical, and dream voyage from her home in the West/America; and return back to her womb in the East/Mongolia in the pursuit of a life altering quest and pilgrimage.

From the Director
Shamanism is humankind’s earliest and perhaps most universal expression of spirituality, as it is found in one form or another in nearly every culture across the world.
Tenger, or the “Eternal Blue Sky,” is an omnipotent, omnipresent deity from which all power and knowledge springs. Ancestral spirits and other spiritual entities hang out in the heavens—plural. They are very close to Tenger and that proximity affords them enhanced wisdom. A Shaman is a person selected by his or her ancestral spirits to serve as a bridge between the spirits and regular folks. ...
My film seeks to express the embattled emotional middle space of the marginal woman, one who lives in two worlds in both of which a stranger.

My name is Eriko Tsogo, I am a Mongolian American woman artist, filmmaker, immigrant rights activist, civic engagement project developer, DACA recipient, and most importantly a Mongolian Shaman due to accept my Shamanic calling in my home country of Mongolia. Prior to learning I had the calling, I have personally experienced many miraculous healings and accurate divinations as both a Shamanic practitioner and a client. The possibility of experiencing other worlds during this lifetime, the ability to transcend between the conscious and subconscious realms completely fascinates, intrigues, and challenges the capacity of both my biological and creative mind to this day.
