I love this movie so much

Too much of everything

Captivating movie !

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

One of the best Doco's i've seen recently, the continuous dialog between Alan and Placido make you wonder how far modern civilisation banned the importance of the Nature.

It is very understanding, and who doesn't want to go to the Andes to have an enlightenment and spiritual experience with a shaman; Who's knowledge is past from generations to generations, knowledge no book can provide. A way of life that it is sadly impossible for most humans on this earth. The answer is simple, thanks to this movie and it's creators it is possible for us viewers to get a look in to a deep spiritual journey. If something is wrong, if something feels wrong, it is simply because it is. Then you have to look in another direction. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and finding the answers to your questions. This is something all should do, but as the shaman says is that all men are asleep. I you can, try to live in balance with yourself and nature, never stop seeking and the rest is details. Peace

Fun documentary with some insights about the simplicity of our true nature. Despite the naiveness, the intention is good. But the viewer should be aware. A possible feeling that arises when one watch this documentary is a will to buy a '10 days/9 nights + True Ayahuasca Experience' package to Peru to get enlightened. Well, problem is that enlightenment is not that easy, you don't get enlightened in a weekend trip to a sacred place with a shaman/spiritual teacher/paqo/whatever. Be aware with 'Enlightenment Propaganda' (I am not saying this documentary is a Propaganda even if the dude is kind of naive in his quest) because there is a lot of malicious people in the Spiritual Sphere who just want your money and devotion. Enlightenment is a process that involves one's effort and commitment on the right path being Altruism the most important aspect. You don't need to go anywhere to start working with your mind because the best place to work with it is where you at right now. Believing that the knowledge is somewhere between Peru, Tibet or wherever is a self- deception, and self-deception is the very thing that all those traditions try to teach to overcome. So if I can say something useful is; Don't be fooled by the romantic journey to enlightenment, be more honest with yourself, read a lot of genuine knowledge by genuine teachers and then decide for yourself what's worth pursuing.

Alan (main character / director) travels into the the deepest unconscious in the Heights of The Peruvian Andes, where he will be guided by Placido, Q'ero Shaman Priest.Q'eros is a Community who kept isolated from the Western influence since the time of the conquest, deciding to resume open contact with the rest of civilization only decades ago. Thus, Q'eros have become the last remaining Guardians of the Knowledge of the Andes.Alan will be walking through the shamanic practices and initiations, a path that will expand his perception of reality, to find out the meaning of his existence and the origins of man.This movie is an essential way to spread the Legacy and Original Teachings that this community has kept and embodied for hundreds of years.Placido is one of the few Q'ero "Paqos" that can handle the Spanish Language diligently. For this reason, his role is of great value in this present Era, in which the prophecies announce the meeting of the Man of the West with the Man of the Andes, the encounter between the Eagle and the Condor.Splendid Photography, Illustration, Animation, Music and Sound Effects manage to enhance the message, achieving intense and very moving passages."Listen to your heartbeat, and the Earth's heartbeat. Feel you are a part of everything. Breathe from the trees, from the rock, from the ocean. Just be aware that you are Earth.""Understanding a second birth from the mind, means being aware of where we are. It is realizing who we are."
