Summary
The epic story of the first contact, encounter, approach, betrayal and, eventually, life-transcending friendship, between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman, last survivor of his people, and two scientists that, over the course of 40 years, travel through the Amazon in search of a sacred plant that can heal them. Inspired by the journals of the first explorers of the Colombian Amazon, Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evans Schultes.

Good and complete movie touching several topics at the same time; the destruction through the conquest of the native cultures and knowlege in America and the vital path of 4 different human beings.
Ciro Guerra es smart to use black and white and the landscapes of the Amazonas to fill all the silences of the movie.
The cast is quite good, specially the 2 actors performing Karamakate; Nibio Torres and Antonio Bolivar.
