Embrace of the Serpent (region-free DVD)

Filmed in stunning black and white, SERPENT centers on Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people, and two scientists who, over the course of 40 years, build a friendship with him. The film was inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and remote psychedelic Yakruna plant. Academy Award nominee, Cannes Film Festival winner, Sundance Film Festival winner, and winner at the Macondo Colobian Academy Awards for Best Picture. This DVD edition is loaded with extra features.
