Omm Seti means 'mother of Seti.' This is how Dorothy Eady, born in London in 1904, described herself to the tourists who visited her at the temple of the great Pharaoh Seti I at Abydos. Convinced that she led a previous existence as a priestess in ancient Egypt, Omm Seti tells the story of how she became obsessed with the famous temple, in the shadow of which she lived. She died shortly before the film was shown for the first time in May 1981. Re-aired 13 July 1990
