A documentary exploring the use of Ayahuasca as a holistic medicine.
PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WORK, buy me a coffee here:
Ayahausca is a traditional plant medicine from the Amazon used to treat a variety of physical and psychology illnesses and conditions. This film explores the use of the Ayahausca as a holistic medicine, challenging stigmas around its use and helping people become more conscious and ethical consumers of the plant if that’s the path they choose.
This documentary doesn’t cover everything you need to be aware of if you are considering work with Ayahuasca. Please do your research.

Directors note: This note is to address the many comments about the obvious lack of female and indigenous representation in this documentary. I was at this retreat for my own personal development and happened to have my camera with me. Half way through the retreat I made a spontaneous decision to make this documentary during a conversation. I had never made a documentary before, I had never really thought about what goes into making a documentary and I was too caught up in my own process to really think about what I was doing at the time. I asked several people for interviews who all happened to be men and by the time I realized I hadn’t asked any women it was too late. I also tried to get an interview with Don Rober but that didn’t happen for several reasons. I made this documentary alone, with few resources and no budget and in the interest of getting it finished in this lifetime I went with what I had and finish the film that I had committed to make. I did my best with what I had.
PS. If anyone is willing to translate the subtitles to any other languages please reach out to me!! Thanks so much
