Film Synopsis
The mythology behind Amazonian Shamanism is a rich and fascinating study and the filmmakers behind “The Sacred Science” have sought to take the documentary experience to the next level by seeking real, tangible results. The indigenous plant medicines and spiritual rituals of the South American rain forest have been time-tested for thousands of years, and audiences will be treated to one of the most astounding accounts ever caught on camera in this groundbreaking new documentary film.

The Sacred Science follows eight people from all different walks of life, with varying physical and psychological ailments, as they embark on a one-month healing journey in the heart of the Amazon jungle.  Working with a handful of local Shamanic healers and using a combination of plant medicine and intense spiritual exercises, the barriers between physical health, mental, emotional well-being are blurred and eventually eliminated altogether.
