They are the Shamans, people that have the power to communicate with the ultra-sensitive world, to see past the horizon, to learn from plants and animals, and above all to guide and alleviate the ailments of their fellow men. This documentary invites you to get to know Shamans from the five continents. You will learn about the altered states of consciousness that permit the shaman to communicate with other worlds. You will witness physical and psychic healing. You will delve into ancestral rituals with visionary plants, such as the yopo of the Amazon, the Sanpedro of the Andean high plateau of Peru, or the iboga found in the heart of Africa. You will attend voodoo ceremonies, exorcisms and magical demonstrations that cannot be explained. A passionate journey through the history of traditional medicine until the present day, that is both seductive and thought provoking. -- Explora Films presenta una producción de Óscar Portillo ; realización, José Manuel Novoa ; documentación, Nazaret Rodríguez, Juan García Novoa.
