The story of the relationship between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his people, and two scientists who work together over the course of forty years to search the Amazon for a sacred healing plant.
Embrace of the Serpent is a beautifully shot narrative based on two expeditions up the Amazon in search of a plant with magical healing powers. Both expeditions, 40 years apart from one another, are conducted by Karamakate, a shaman, and two different European scientists. Shades of Apocalypse Now, but with a powerful emphasis on indigenous perspectives on colonialism.
