Embrace of the Serpent
[New York, New York] : Oscilloscope Laboratories, [2016]
Format: DVD
Description: 1 videodisc (125 min.) : sound, black and white ; 4 3/4 in.
The film centers on Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people, and the two scientists who, over the course of 40 years, build a friendship with him. The film was inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers (Theodor Koch-Grünberg and Richard Evans Schultes) who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant.
