The Mummy ThiefWatch Caldecott Productions’ award-winning documentary "The Mummy Thief" now on WOWtv! Click HERE for more information.
The frequency of mummy theft in Toraja has not ebbed at all. Ironically, Rambu Solo - an expensive funeral rite, held for ancestors regardless of the expense, has become an absurdity, when people desecrate their ancestors’ burial grounds. This is because the descendants are now in great poverty due to this expensive funeral rite. This documentary features a villager who turns into a mummy thief, when he is trapped in the vicious cycle of debts after his family throws an expensive funeral for an ancestor.
