Based on the travel diaries two early last century ethnographerTheodor Koch-Grunberg and botantist Richard Evans Schultes, intense and intentional , I like the focus on how it takes Karamakate (the shaman) advancing into old age to be more open about demonstrating the (fictional) sacred plant, the 'yakruna' in spite of the abuses of Amazonian colonial/imperial like power structures not the least how the yakruna plant is taken for granted on rubber plantations.
