Epic drama looking at 2 scientists, visiting the Colombian Amazon rainforest, 30 years apart and both being guided by the same isolated shamen. Both men are ostensibly seeking a rare plant with healing properties and must learn to understand the shamans beliefs who is distrustful of white men following massacres and jungle destruction by Colombians seeking rubber.
Beautiful to look at and never boring, this slowly takes you on something of an odyssey to explore the needs of man versus the desires of the locals to maintain their beliefs and care for the Jungle. It is not a fast film, but a rewarding, thought provoking watch.
