VIDEO : No Comment: Northern Vietnamese community holds fire dancing ritual
In Vietnam’s northern Tuyen Quang province, members of the Pa Then ethnic group take part in a traditional male fire dancing ritual.
They believe this process will help them exorcise demons and bring good harvests.
Barefoot and in a trance, the participants run towards a bonfire of hot coals, as spectators cheer from the sidelines.
The Pa Then are a community of some 8,300 people. Their fire dance ritual dates back generations and only men are allowed to take part in it.
