Can an ANCIENT AMAZONIAN PLANT MEDICINE HELP HEAL MANKIND?The Medicine
reveals the hidden mysteries of one of nature’s most powerful and
controversial healing remedies- Ayahuasca. It is a documentary about
Amazonian shamanism, introducing Taita Juanito Guerillmo Chindoy
Chindoy, both a teacher and student of the sacred plant medicine. As
Ayahuasca gains popularity in the West, the film explores the science
as well as the lore behind the plant and why it is used to heal. It
follows former NFL Safety, Kerry Rhodes, and actress, AnnaLynne
McCord, as they drink with the Taita experiencing Ayahuasca for the
first time- in its true tradition.
Humanity faces an unprecedented rise in addiction, insecurity, and
disease- perhaps the cure does lie within the arms of Mother Nature.
