EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT
[2015, COLUMBIA, VENEZUELA, ARGENTINA - Spanish, Portuguese, German, Catalan, Latin, Amazonian]
Inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers Theodor Koch-Grünberg and Richard Evans Schultes, Embrace The Serpent chronicles their journey traveling through the Colombian Amazon wilderness in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant, which could cure Theodor's chronic illness. Along this journey they form a life-affirming friendship with Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people. Directed by Ciro Guerra, it is Columbia's entry for the Best Foreign Film category at the 88th Academy Awards
