The white shepherds of the red island

On the Highlands of Madagascar in the region of Betsileo is a curious village where time stands still, and practically everybody is dressed in white! The inhabitants are the fervent adepts of a very specific branch of Christianity on Madagascar: Fifohazana or the Church of Revival, whose influence on the Red Island continues to grow. The village of Soatanana is the historic heart and radical centre of a movement that advocates a strict reading of the Bible.
