Combining scientific, religious, and anthropological perspectives on the use of Ayahuasca in modern society, and in parallel with the director Fausto Noro’s own healing process, this documentary provides for the first time, a holistic, yet balanced view of this controversial subject. It tells story of Ayahuasca, from its emergence in the Amazonian Forest to its popularity with the Santo Daime religion, and on to its arrival in urban centres.
