The video was filmed in Topeka, Kansas, USA, on August 3rd, 2002. It was in this town that the modern-day movement of speaking in tongues (glossolalia) began in 1901. A group of about 40 people had gathered under the leadership of the preacher Charles Parham when a woman, Miss Agnes Osman, started to speak in a language unknown to herself or to the other members of the congregation. Speaking in tongues quickly spread to other parts of the US as well as to other continents, including Scandinavia. Carl Johan Erikson was once part of the movement himself, but lost the ability to speak in tongues around the age of twenty.
