My guest today is filmmaker and author Lionel Friedberg. Originally from South Africa, Lionel spoke with me from his home in LA. Lionel’s career in the film industry began in 1961 in South Africa and it has been nothing but remarkable including winning Emmy Award, Columbus Film Festival Award and American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Westinghouse Award. And beyond professional accomplishments, his profession has taken Lionel to the most remarkable places of this planet.
The focus of our conversation is Lionel’s autobiography called Forever in My Veins: How film led me to the mysterious world of the African shaman. Lionel’s life has been incredibly rich and adventurous. It has include many remarkable experiences of African spirituality, including an early prophecy about key events in Lionel’s life, which one by one have come true. Lionel is a compelling story teller and in this interview takes us from remote bush locations to prestigious research institutions sharing many experiences and understandings of consciousness, memory, race and racism and even his more painful experiences are surrounded by sense of magic in the world. The narrative of both his book and our conversation is loosely structured around a prophecy he received in his early twenties and has been witnessing unfolding throughout the years and his many adventures. Lionel’s enthusiasm for life is contagious and I hope our conversation leaves you with a sense of awe for the world we live in.
