If you could watch a 5-minute video of any event in human history, what would it be, and why?

I’d love to do an occupational analysis of a 5-minute a day-in-the-life of a “babaylan,” the spiritual healers/leaders of precolonial Philippines. I want to understand their habits, routines and witness the role they served in society.
