Какви възможности се откриват и какви рискове крият шаманизмът и опиатите, които практикуващите използват? Едно мистично пътуване из тайните на Амазонка. Shaman - от тюркски, означава "този, който знае". Първоначално се използва в Северна Азия и Монголия за назоваване на народните лечители. Някои антрополози и изследователи определят шаманите като посредници между материалния и духовния свят, които пътуват между световете в състояние на транс. Когато попадне в света на духовете, шаманът общува с тях и иска помощ за лечение, за добър улов или за промяна на времето.
