1
00:00:59,709 --> 00:01:03,376
“It is not possible for me to know
if the infinite jungle has started on me
2
00:01:03,459 --> 00:01:07,251
the process that has taken many others
to complete and irremediable insanity.
3
00:01:07,334 --> 00:01:10,584
In this case, I can only apologize
and ask for your understanding,
4
00:01:10,668 --> 00:01:13,626
for the display I witnessed
in those enchanted hours was such
5
00:01:13,709 --> 00:01:17,209
that I find it impossible to describe
in words its beauty and splendor;
6
00:01:17,293 --> 00:01:20,459
all I know is that, when I came back,
I had become another man.”
7
00:01:20,543 --> 00:01:21,876
Theodor von Maflius, Amazonia, 1909
8
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:50,334
Yukuna?
9
00:02:51,709 --> 00:02:53,084
Tukano?
10
00:02:54,459 --> 00:02:55,501
Wanano?
11
00:02:55,959 --> 00:02:58,126
- Kobeu?
- Go away.
12
00:03:00,501 --> 00:03:01,709
Go away!
13
00:03:09,584 --> 00:03:12,459
Are you Karamakate, the world mover?
14
00:03:22,918 --> 00:03:24,251
What do you want?
15
00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:29,209
I am Manduca, son of Ruibukuri,
of the Maloka Komeilemong.
16
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:31,959
- I am Bara of the river...
- I know the Baras.
17
00:03:32,043 --> 00:03:34,501
You submitted to the whites
without a fight.
18
00:03:34,584 --> 00:03:36,001
What do you want?
19
00:03:37,043 --> 00:03:40,126
This is Theodor von Martius,
my friend and travel partner.
20
00:03:40,209 --> 00:03:41,793
He is very sick.
21
00:03:46,126 --> 00:03:50,793
All of the nearby shamans
tried to heal him. No one could.
22
00:03:51,334 --> 00:03:53,793
They all said you were the only one
who could help us.
23
00:03:58,834 --> 00:04:00,334
I'm not like you.
24
00:04:01,543 --> 00:04:03,543
I don't help the whites.
25
00:04:04,584 --> 00:04:06,834
He is a wise man,
who has come to learn.
26
00:04:06,918 --> 00:04:08,543
He'll die if you don't help him!
27
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:13,168
Where did you get this?
28
00:04:13,251 --> 00:04:14,668
Let go of him!
29
00:04:15,334 --> 00:04:18,043
- Where did you get this?
- What?
30
00:04:18,709 --> 00:04:19,709
The necklace!
31
00:04:21,168 --> 00:04:24,168
It was a gift from a Cohiuano shaman.
32
00:04:25,918 --> 00:04:28,376
Liar! The Cohiuano don't exist!
33
00:04:29,043 --> 00:04:30,501
They do exist,
34
00:04:31,126 --> 00:04:34,376
I was with them a few years ago.
35
00:04:34,459 --> 00:04:35,543
Liar!
36
00:04:36,168 --> 00:04:37,876
Ayumpari.
37
00:04:39,209 --> 00:04:40,543
I'm not lying.
38
00:04:41,251 --> 00:04:44,209
Some of them remain,
by the edge of the Yari river.
39
00:04:45,293 --> 00:04:47,918
They are few, but they are still there.
40
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:54,793
The Cohiuano don't exist anymore.
41
00:04:55,334 --> 00:04:57,418
You killed them all.
42
00:04:58,584 --> 00:05:00,043
I won't help you.
43
00:06:53,459 --> 00:06:56,751
It's okay, Manduca. it's okay.
44
00:06:59,668 --> 00:07:01,668
Let's go.
45
00:07:02,459 --> 00:07:04,209
Only yakruna can save you.
46
00:07:05,084 --> 00:07:08,334
If the Cohiuano still exist,
then they'll have it.
47
00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:10,209
If not, you will die.
48
00:07:11,251 --> 00:07:14,793
This plant can cure me?
49
00:07:14,876 --> 00:07:16,501
Do my people still exist?
50
00:07:20,834 --> 00:07:24,334
The jungle is fragile,
and if you attack her, she strikes back.
51
00:07:24,418 --> 00:07:26,793
The only way she will allow us to travel
is if we respect her.
52
00:07:26,876 --> 00:07:29,709
We must not eat meat or fish
53
00:07:30,376 --> 00:07:32,376
until the rains begin
54
00:07:32,751 --> 00:07:35,209
and we ask for permission
to the Owners of Animals.
55
00:07:35,293 --> 00:07:37,584
We can't cut any tree from its root.
56
00:07:38,251 --> 00:07:41,668
If a woman is found, no intercourse
until the change of moon.
57
00:07:42,584 --> 00:07:44,251
Do you accept?
58
00:07:44,334 --> 00:07:45,626
Theo,
59
00:07:45,709 --> 00:07:47,209
you're in no condition to travel.
60
00:07:48,084 --> 00:07:50,334
I can't die here.
61
00:07:54,334 --> 00:07:55,626
Do you accept?
62
00:07:58,084 --> 00:08:01,459
You better be telling the truth.
This medicine only heals momentarily.
63
00:08:02,126 --> 00:08:05,626
When it returns,
it will come back stronger.
64
00:08:06,668 --> 00:08:08,459
It's the truth.
65
00:08:08,543 --> 00:08:10,043
I've been with them.
66
00:09:41,126 --> 00:09:45,043
EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT
67
00:11:31,251 --> 00:11:32,626
Tukano?
68
00:11:35,918 --> 00:11:37,001
Andoke?
69
00:11:40,001 --> 00:11:41,418
Karihona?
70
00:11:43,626 --> 00:11:44,668
Muinane?
71
00:11:44,751 --> 00:11:46,876
You can see me?
72
00:11:52,626 --> 00:11:54,751
Many years ago, this man,
73
00:11:55,751 --> 00:11:57,418
Theodor von Martius,
74
00:11:59,793 --> 00:12:03,501
was here and he wrote
about the plant I'm looking for.
75
00:12:03,584 --> 00:12:08,334
I want to know if his writings are true.
76
00:12:08,418 --> 00:12:10,209
I devote my life to plants.
77
00:12:10,293 --> 00:12:11,959
You devote your life to plants?
78
00:12:14,626 --> 00:12:17,876
That's the most reasonable thing
I've ever heard a white say.
79
00:12:21,709 --> 00:12:23,001
My name is Evan.
80
00:12:23,084 --> 00:12:25,834
My name was Karamakate.
81
00:12:25,918 --> 00:12:30,126
I come downriver from the Maloka
of the Wanano people.
82
00:12:30,209 --> 00:12:32,626
I'm looking for a plant.
83
00:12:32,709 --> 00:12:34,084
Yakruna.
84
00:12:34,584 --> 00:12:35,876
Which plant is that?
85
00:12:36,293 --> 00:12:39,668
I know very little of it.
I don't even know if it exists.
86
00:12:39,751 --> 00:12:41,501
I want to learn about it.
87
00:12:41,918 --> 00:12:46,168
Von Martius described it as
a sacred plant that can heal diseases.
88
00:12:46,251 --> 00:12:50,626
That grows on the rubber
and raises its level of purity.
89
00:12:50,709 --> 00:12:53,126
Is that why you want it?
90
00:13:10,168 --> 00:13:11,751
Is that mambe?
91
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:14,209
Do you like our coca?
92
00:13:14,584 --> 00:13:18,293
Do you want to take yakruna too?
93
00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:22,168
I can give you a lot of money
if you help me.
94
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:32,209
It's a lot of money.
95
00:13:38,376 --> 00:13:40,876
Ants like money.
96
00:13:41,876 --> 00:13:44,543
I don't. It tastes bad.
97
00:13:50,251 --> 00:13:52,168
I've never dreamt.
98
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:57,001
Neither awake nor sleeping.
99
00:13:57,584 --> 00:13:59,126
Not even
100
00:14:00,126 --> 00:14:02,584
caapi has had any effect on me.
101
00:14:03,293 --> 00:14:05,751
The shamans from the Baras,
102
00:14:05,834 --> 00:14:08,043
Tukano and Siriano villages
103
00:14:08,126 --> 00:14:11,168
said only yakruna
104
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:13,543
could help me.
105
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:21,543
I had a dream once of a white spirit.
106
00:14:21,626 --> 00:14:23,334
He was sick,
107
00:14:24,168 --> 00:14:27,918
and the only way he could heal
was by learning to dream.
108
00:14:28,001 --> 00:14:29,668
But he couldn't.
109
00:14:31,543 --> 00:14:34,126
Are your dreams
worth a lot of money to you?
110
00:14:35,751 --> 00:14:37,709
Do you know where to find yakruna?
111
00:14:38,876 --> 00:14:40,209
Do you have more mambe?
112
00:14:41,459 --> 00:14:43,293
I have some coca.
113
00:15:37,001 --> 00:15:38,001
Is something wrong?
114
00:15:38,959 --> 00:15:43,876
I forgot mambe existed.
115
00:15:44,418 --> 00:15:49,376
Now I don't know how to make it.
116
00:16:38,876 --> 00:16:42,501
Will you help me find yakruna?
117
00:16:45,709 --> 00:16:47,626
You are not one.
118
00:16:47,709 --> 00:16:49,209
You are two men.
119
00:16:53,376 --> 00:16:56,751
I want to see yakruna.
I'll go with you.
120
00:16:56,834 --> 00:16:58,501
Do you know the way?
121
00:16:59,876 --> 00:17:01,543
I don't remember.
122
00:17:03,251 --> 00:17:05,334
You will take me.
123
00:17:22,293 --> 00:17:24,043
Did you make all these?
124
00:17:26,376 --> 00:17:28,251
What do they mean?
125
00:17:34,043 --> 00:17:36,459
I don't know.
126
00:17:36,543 --> 00:17:38,251
I can't remember.
127
00:17:39,001 --> 00:17:41,376
These rocks used to talk to me.
128
00:17:41,459 --> 00:17:44,209
They answered my questions.
129
00:17:44,709 --> 00:17:49,043
The line is broken,
my memories are gone.
130
00:17:50,084 --> 00:17:52,751
Rocks, trees, animals,
131
00:17:52,834 --> 00:17:55,418
they all went silent.
132
00:17:56,043 --> 00:17:58,709
Now they're just pictures on rocks.
133
00:17:59,709 --> 00:18:02,001
Now I'm empty,
134
00:18:02,084 --> 00:18:04,668
I'm a chullachaqui.
135
00:18:16,251 --> 00:18:20,209
This is similar
to a drawing I saw of yakruna.
136
00:18:35,043 --> 00:18:36,709
These are mountains.
137
00:18:37,876 --> 00:18:39,543
A group of mountains.
138
00:18:40,543 --> 00:18:42,668
It is the “Workshop of the Gods”.
139
00:18:44,043 --> 00:18:45,168
That's where
140
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:47,459
yakruna grows.
141
00:19:22,376 --> 00:19:25,584
How could I forget the gifts
that the Gods gave to us?
142
00:19:25,668 --> 00:19:29,251
I've even forgotten
how to make the mambe.
143
00:19:30,959 --> 00:19:35,834
What have I become?
144
00:20:38,709 --> 00:20:40,543
We're too heavy.
145
00:20:40,626 --> 00:20:42,293
We need to drop these boxes.
146
00:20:44,334 --> 00:20:48,293
No, they're mine. I need them.
147
00:20:49,834 --> 00:20:51,834
They'll drag us down.
148
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:56,543
- Throw them away.
- They're useful.
149
00:20:58,376 --> 00:20:59,876
You can look at them if you want.
150
00:21:13,501 --> 00:21:16,001
That's not him.
That's his chullachaqui.
151
00:21:17,543 --> 00:21:18,376
What?
152
00:21:19,834 --> 00:21:23,293
His chullachaqui.
It looks just like him.
153
00:21:25,751 --> 00:21:27,376
It's a picture.
154
00:21:28,918 --> 00:21:33,043
It happened to us both.
We turned into chullachaquis.
155
00:21:36,168 --> 00:21:38,418
Did you meet him?
156
00:21:44,126 --> 00:21:46,168
Do you know what he's like?
157
00:21:48,334 --> 00:21:50,001
Is he an old man like me?
158
00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:52,501
No,
159
00:21:53,709 --> 00:21:59,418
he died in this jungle.
160
00:22:00,168 --> 00:22:03,459
He never came back from his trip.
161
00:22:05,001 --> 00:22:06,793
How did he give you this?
162
00:22:07,501 --> 00:22:11,626
Manduca, his travel partner,
sent his diaries
163
00:22:12,418 --> 00:22:14,251
to Germany.
164
00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:18,084
They were published there.
165
00:24:15,501 --> 00:24:18,876
Manduca, do we have something
to exchange for provisions?
166
00:24:18,959 --> 00:24:20,334
Not a lot.
167
00:24:45,084 --> 00:24:46,376
Are you okay?
168
00:24:46,876 --> 00:24:48,126
Are you better?
169
00:24:54,418 --> 00:24:55,709
The world mover?
170
00:24:58,001 --> 00:25:00,126
This is Karamakate.
171
00:25:00,209 --> 00:25:02,584
He agreed to help me.
172
00:25:29,251 --> 00:25:31,501
I have to keep the prohibitions.
173
00:25:32,876 --> 00:25:35,709
You need strength for the travel.
You can eat it.
174
00:25:38,751 --> 00:25:40,418
Can I?
175
00:26:00,209 --> 00:26:03,709
How do we reach the Yari
from here, then?
176
00:26:04,459 --> 00:26:07,834
You must follow the Uraricoera star
all the way to the lgara River.
177
00:26:07,918 --> 00:26:10,251
Which star is that?
178
00:26:10,793 --> 00:26:13,584
The one that is visible
during the sunset, that way.
179
00:26:14,126 --> 00:26:15,543
That Way?
180
00:26:22,043 --> 00:26:23,876
What is that?
181
00:26:24,543 --> 00:26:26,209
It's a compass.
182
00:26:30,168 --> 00:26:32,293
It always points
183
00:26:32,376 --> 00:26:35,001
to the Auakaruna star.
184
00:26:35,793 --> 00:26:39,209
The needle is attracted
by the Earth's magnetic field.
185
00:26:39,293 --> 00:26:40,459
Why?
186
00:26:42,084 --> 00:26:45,209
It will always point to the direction
that the Earth's energy indicates.
187
00:26:45,293 --> 00:26:47,876
Theo, sing your song!
188
00:26:47,959 --> 00:26:50,793
No! Not again!
189
00:26:56,709 --> 00:26:59,376
Manduca, I will not sing alone.
190
00:26:59,876 --> 00:27:00,876
Sing with me!
191
00:27:01,209 --> 00:27:02,876
Come.
192
00:28:16,876 --> 00:28:17,876
Who are you?
193
00:28:21,793 --> 00:28:24,376
How can you live alone
in the jungle like this?
194
00:28:54,668 --> 00:28:55,834
Manduca,
195
00:28:56,709 --> 00:28:58,626
do you have the compass?
196
00:28:59,126 --> 00:29:01,251
Did you leave it in the maloka?
197
00:29:05,126 --> 00:29:07,793
Did any of you take my compass?
198
00:29:10,293 --> 00:29:12,376
Did any of you take my compass?
199
00:29:21,668 --> 00:29:23,084
Give it back.
200
00:29:32,251 --> 00:29:33,751
Give it back, you thieves!
201
00:29:34,334 --> 00:29:35,834
Which one of you has it?
202
00:29:39,043 --> 00:29:40,543
Leave him, Theo.
203
00:29:41,293 --> 00:29:43,793
I can't leave a compass here, Manduca.
204
00:29:44,751 --> 00:29:49,293
Tuschaua, tell them to give it back.
205
00:29:56,418 --> 00:30:00,209
Please, Tuschaua, I need it.
206
00:30:00,751 --> 00:30:03,209
I'm not going to exchange it.
207
00:30:03,876 --> 00:30:05,501
Please give it back.
208
00:30:08,334 --> 00:30:13,043
Please, Tuschaua, I need it.
209
00:30:20,793 --> 00:30:21,793
Let's go.
210
00:30:21,876 --> 00:30:25,668
I told you,
I can't leave a compass here.
211
00:30:42,376 --> 00:30:43,376
What?
212
00:30:44,709 --> 00:30:45,876
You're nothing but a white.
213
00:30:46,501 --> 00:30:50,959
Their orientation system is based on
the winds and the position of the stars.
214
00:30:51,043 --> 00:30:54,293
If they learn how to use a compass,
that knowledge will be lost.
215
00:30:54,834 --> 00:30:57,168
You cannot forbid them to learn.
216
00:30:57,876 --> 00:31:00,168
Knowledge belongs to all men.
217
00:31:01,001 --> 00:31:03,668
But you can't understand that,
because you're nothing but a white.
218
00:32:25,834 --> 00:32:27,501
Are you all right?
219
00:33:16,084 --> 00:33:18,459
Leave all that.
220
00:33:19,751 --> 00:33:21,501
They're just things.
221
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:23,334
No.
222
00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:26,126
Why do you whites
love your things so much?
223
00:33:28,876 --> 00:33:31,293
They're not just things.
224
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:35,293
They are my only bond
to my people in Germany,
225
00:33:35,376 --> 00:33:37,626
to my town, my wife, my children.
226
00:33:38,459 --> 00:33:41,709
These boxes contain
all the knowledge I've gathered
227
00:33:41,793 --> 00:33:43,543
in four years of travel.
228
00:33:43,626 --> 00:33:48,376
I have to keep them,
otherwise nobody will believe me.
229
00:33:54,501 --> 00:33:59,668
Leaving them is leaving everything.
230
00:34:03,501 --> 00:34:04,709
You're insane.
231
00:34:07,001 --> 00:34:08,043
I know.
232
00:34:49,834 --> 00:34:52,334
The rubber barons gave you those scars?
233
00:34:53,334 --> 00:34:55,876
Yes, but I'm a free man now.
234
00:34:59,543 --> 00:35:04,959
Is this the spot where the anaconda
descended from the Milky Way,
235
00:35:05,043 --> 00:35:07,168
carrying our Karipulakena ancestors?
236
00:36:29,001 --> 00:36:31,709
Damn rubber!
237
00:37:35,543 --> 00:37:37,293
Do you understand what he's saying?
238
00:37:42,376 --> 00:37:44,084
He's asking you to kill him.
239
00:38:04,834 --> 00:38:06,959
You brought a gun?
240
00:38:07,043 --> 00:38:08,376
You can't kill him!
241
00:38:08,459 --> 00:38:09,501
Manduca, stop it!
242
00:38:09,584 --> 00:38:10,876
What are you doing?
243
00:38:11,418 --> 00:38:13,626
If I don't do it,
they'll torture him to death.
244
00:38:13,709 --> 00:38:16,168
Don't do this.
245
00:38:16,251 --> 00:38:17,293
Don't do this!
246
00:38:18,376 --> 00:38:19,834
Nobody deserves this hell.
247
00:38:19,918 --> 00:38:21,543
Manduca, stop.
248
00:39:03,584 --> 00:39:05,126
Karamakate.
249
00:39:14,543 --> 00:39:15,834
Let's go.
250
00:39:17,584 --> 00:39:19,251
I'm not going.
251
00:39:20,376 --> 00:39:21,876
What's wrong?
252
00:39:27,293 --> 00:39:28,959
Whites can't be trusted.
253
00:39:29,876 --> 00:39:32,251
I have no reason to trust you either.
254
00:39:32,751 --> 00:39:34,459
So, what do we do?
255
00:39:35,293 --> 00:39:37,293
Is this your knowledge? Shotguns?
256
00:39:37,959 --> 00:39:41,543
All your science only leads to this,
violence,
257
00:39:42,084 --> 00:39:43,459
death.
258
00:39:43,543 --> 00:39:45,001
You're wrong.
259
00:39:45,501 --> 00:39:48,334
What else are you stealing? Coca?
260
00:39:49,251 --> 00:39:52,459
Quina? Rubber?
261
00:39:52,543 --> 00:39:56,334
That's why you want to steal yakruna?
What else are you going to turn into death?
262
00:39:56,418 --> 00:40:00,043
Don't talk to him like that.
He's done more for our people than you.
263
00:40:00,126 --> 00:40:03,126
And you? Look at your clothes.
The same as the white men.
264
00:40:03,209 --> 00:40:05,709
How could you let them
culture you like this?
265
00:40:06,751 --> 00:40:08,459
You think like the white men,
you think nothing.
266
00:40:08,543 --> 00:40:11,459
What side are you on? You're a caboclo.
267
00:40:13,918 --> 00:40:16,751
I've never met anyone
more loyal than Manduca.
268
00:40:17,251 --> 00:40:19,501
He has never stopped
defending his people. And you?
269
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:23,251
What have you done?
Run away from the world,
270
00:40:23,334 --> 00:40:25,001
isolate yourself, like a madman.
271
00:40:26,334 --> 00:40:28,459
I'm not stealing anything.
272
00:40:34,209 --> 00:40:35,334
Look!
273
00:40:43,876 --> 00:40:45,334
This is my knowledge.
274
00:40:45,418 --> 00:40:47,793
You try to understand
the world around you too.
275
00:40:48,251 --> 00:40:50,584
You tell stories as well.
276
00:40:51,334 --> 00:40:54,584
I send them to my wife,
my people in Germany.
277
00:40:55,959 --> 00:40:58,876
This is not death, this is life.
278
00:40:58,959 --> 00:41:00,001
This is my song.
279
00:41:01,668 --> 00:41:02,501
What is this?
280
00:41:04,001 --> 00:41:06,001
It's a drawing I made.
281
00:41:06,459 --> 00:41:08,126
Where did you see it?
282
00:41:10,543 --> 00:41:11,543
In a dream.
283
00:41:14,376 --> 00:41:16,501
A dream of caapi?
284
00:41:19,334 --> 00:41:21,834
No. I've never been allowed
to drink caapi.
285
00:41:21,918 --> 00:41:24,626
This is the only dream I've ever had.
286
00:41:33,584 --> 00:41:35,543
I ain't no caboclo.
287
00:42:19,376 --> 00:42:22,376
If those rubber barons are men,
I am a snake.
288
00:42:26,043 --> 00:42:27,376
Is that a fire?
289
00:42:27,459 --> 00:42:29,459
No. it's the Peruvians.
290
00:42:30,001 --> 00:42:31,334
Come.
291
00:42:46,626 --> 00:42:48,459
We must talk to Master Caapi.
292
00:42:49,793 --> 00:42:53,209
- He's the only one who can explain.
- What are you talking about?
293
00:42:55,251 --> 00:42:57,001
The drawing you made. I dreamt it.
294
00:42:58,418 --> 00:43:00,918
But that is not possible.
295
00:43:02,751 --> 00:43:05,418
Of course it's possible.
296
00:43:06,584 --> 00:43:08,459
Do you feel ready to drink?
297
00:43:10,126 --> 00:43:11,793
Am I allowed?
298
00:43:54,043 --> 00:43:55,751
Drink without fear.
299
00:44:25,668 --> 00:44:27,501
It's already cleaned you inside.
300
00:44:28,084 --> 00:44:29,209
You can drink again.
301
00:44:30,626 --> 00:44:31,709
Drink.
302
00:45:14,209 --> 00:45:15,543
You have to let go.
303
00:45:34,376 --> 00:45:35,709
Watoima.
304
00:45:38,043 --> 00:45:39,834
I don't want to die.
305
00:45:44,876 --> 00:45:46,793
I don't want to die.
306
00:45:56,668 --> 00:45:59,126
Why wouldn't Master Caapi
speak to me?
307
00:46:00,834 --> 00:46:04,209
I don't understand.
It's never happened before.
308
00:46:05,793 --> 00:46:07,168
What did you see?
309
00:46:12,043 --> 00:46:13,709
The Master took me to see the jaguar.
310
00:46:16,543 --> 00:46:20,126
He told me that Watoima transformed
into a boa when it hit the ground.
311
00:46:20,209 --> 00:46:21,959
It has a mandate.
312
00:46:23,668 --> 00:46:24,668
What mandate?
313
00:46:27,043 --> 00:46:28,043
To kill you.
314
00:46:35,126 --> 00:46:36,876
Is this boa my disease?
315
00:46:41,626 --> 00:46:43,251
No. it's something else.
316
00:46:43,334 --> 00:46:45,626
If Master Caapi wouldn't talk to me,
317
00:46:45,709 --> 00:46:48,209
will yakruna still help me?
318
00:46:49,043 --> 00:46:52,334
He spoke to you, but you couldn't listen.
I'll have to show you.
319
00:46:56,209 --> 00:46:57,876
Did the jaguar say something about me?
320
00:47:02,084 --> 00:47:03,501
He asked me to protect you.
321
00:47:12,584 --> 00:47:16,876
Last night, I finally found
the opportunity to clear that vision
322
00:47:16,959 --> 00:47:19,293
I had back in Germany,
323
00:47:19,376 --> 00:47:21,543
lying next to you,
324
00:47:21,626 --> 00:47:23,418
all those years ago.
325
00:47:24,126 --> 00:47:26,876
I finally had a chance to understand
326
00:47:26,959 --> 00:47:29,834
why I imagined a jaguar.
327
00:47:31,001 --> 00:47:32,501
But no matter
328
00:47:32,584 --> 00:47:34,668
how hard I tried,
329
00:47:35,168 --> 00:47:37,084
how much I wanted to,
330
00:47:37,709 --> 00:47:42,668
I remained completely immune
to the effect of caapi.
331
00:47:44,334 --> 00:47:47,293
I feel that I have failed, my love.
332
00:47:48,543 --> 00:47:52,834
I will be forced to accept
that my colleagues were right
333
00:47:53,501 --> 00:47:56,543
when they criticized my journey.
334
00:47:56,626 --> 00:47:59,918
I fear that I drifted away from you
335
00:48:00,001 --> 00:48:03,876
only to die thousands of miles
from our home.
336
00:48:03,959 --> 00:48:06,126
I can only hope that this disease
337
00:48:06,209 --> 00:48:09,459
is caused by the deep nostalgia
338
00:48:09,543 --> 00:48:11,459
of not having you beside me,
339
00:48:11,543 --> 00:48:16,793
and I beg you to forgive me
for expressing these dark feelings.
340
00:48:18,543 --> 00:48:22,168
But I also hope, my love,
341
00:48:28,418 --> 00:48:31,043
that you will find in my honesty,
342
00:48:31,126 --> 00:48:35,084
another proof of my affection...
343
00:48:36,459 --> 00:48:40,209
What is it? Can you understand me?
344
00:48:41,168 --> 00:48:43,459
No, but you look like
you're about to cry.
345
00:48:43,543 --> 00:48:45,376
He's writing to his woman.
346
00:48:50,168 --> 00:48:51,834
I enjoy expressing my affection to her.
347
00:48:52,334 --> 00:48:56,334
To a woman?
Before or after you cry?
348
00:48:57,876 --> 00:48:59,209
You cannot understand.
349
00:49:00,084 --> 00:49:03,793
And when you go back, are you going
to express your affection to me too?
350
00:50:06,293 --> 00:50:07,793
What are you doing?
351
00:50:09,043 --> 00:50:10,668
I have to keep it.
352
00:50:12,543 --> 00:50:14,209
But it's me.
353
00:50:15,126 --> 00:50:17,168
It's not you. it's an image of you.
354
00:50:19,709 --> 00:50:21,209
Like a chullachaqui?
355
00:50:22,793 --> 00:50:24,834
A what?
356
00:50:24,918 --> 00:50:26,918
A chullachaqui.
357
00:50:28,584 --> 00:50:30,126
We all have one.
358
00:50:30,209 --> 00:50:36,501
He looks just like you,
but he's empty, hollow.
359
00:50:37,751 --> 00:50:40,793
This is a memory.
A moment that passed.
360
00:50:42,209 --> 00:50:46,084
A chullachaqui has no memories.
361
00:50:46,168 --> 00:50:49,168
It only drifts around in the world,
362
00:50:49,251 --> 00:50:51,793
empty, like a ghost,
lost in time without time.
363
00:50:58,418 --> 00:51:01,834
Are you going to show my chullachaqui
to your people?
364
00:51:02,334 --> 00:51:03,834
If you allow me.
365
00:51:35,376 --> 00:51:38,209
The necklace is part of a Cohiuano.
It cannot be exchanged.
366
00:52:39,293 --> 00:52:41,376
You have to stick the paddle
closer to the boat.
367
00:52:44,376 --> 00:52:46,584
Listen, the river can tell you when to row.
368
00:52:49,376 --> 00:52:50,376
Like this?
369
00:53:05,918 --> 00:53:08,168
Why didn't you go back
to your people before?
370
00:53:16,793 --> 00:53:18,876
The Colombians razed everything.
Nothing was left.
371
00:53:21,668 --> 00:53:23,459
Didn't you ever wish to go back and see?
372
00:53:25,626 --> 00:53:26,793
I was only a child.
373
00:53:28,751 --> 00:53:30,876
How did you survive?
374
00:54:04,168 --> 00:54:06,168
Another rubber plantation?
375
00:54:07,001 --> 00:54:08,501
Not anymore.
376
00:54:10,751 --> 00:54:12,751
It says here it's a Mission.
377
00:54:15,293 --> 00:54:16,959
We should stop and get some supplies.
378
00:54:19,209 --> 00:54:20,793
No. Let's keep going.
379
00:54:22,334 --> 00:54:24,043
I know this place.
380
00:54:24,834 --> 00:54:27,084
How are our supplies?
381
00:54:28,334 --> 00:54:29,543
Not so good.
382
00:54:32,834 --> 00:54:34,543
We're stopping.
383
00:55:04,626 --> 00:55:06,501
Hello, little brother.
384
00:55:06,584 --> 00:55:07,959
What's your name?
385
00:55:08,626 --> 00:55:10,626
Manhekanalienipe.
386
00:55:11,668 --> 00:55:14,959
That's not your name! We're not allowed
to speak in pagan language.
387
00:55:15,793 --> 00:55:16,959
My name is Jeremias.
388
00:55:19,709 --> 00:55:20,709
Where is the priest?
389
00:55:24,793 --> 00:55:26,376
Where is the priest?
390
00:56:12,793 --> 00:56:14,876
Go away!
391
00:56:22,709 --> 00:56:24,668
We don't have any rubber!
392
00:56:26,668 --> 00:56:27,834
We don't want rubber.
393
00:56:28,918 --> 00:56:30,084
What do you want?
394
00:56:30,168 --> 00:56:32,918
My name is Theodor von Martius,
395
00:56:33,668 --> 00:56:36,043
I am an ethnographer
of the University of Tubingen
396
00:56:36,626 --> 00:56:38,876
and the Museum of Stuttgart, Germany.
397
00:56:39,709 --> 00:56:44,459
These are my travel mates,
Manduca and Karamakate.
398
00:56:44,543 --> 00:56:46,001
What do you want?
399
00:56:47,376 --> 00:56:50,459
We are conducting an expedition
400
00:56:50,543 --> 00:56:53,376
and we are looking
for supplies to trade.
401
00:56:54,293 --> 00:56:56,376
Fruits, mandioca, whatever.
402
00:56:56,459 --> 00:56:58,376
Not interested. Go away.
403
00:56:58,459 --> 00:57:01,293
I have money. I can pay.
404
00:57:01,376 --> 00:57:02,918
Go away!
405
00:57:04,626 --> 00:57:05,459
Let's go.
406
00:57:06,834 --> 00:57:08,668
What did he say?
407
00:57:09,959 --> 00:57:13,043
Pagan languages
are not permitted here.
408
00:57:13,918 --> 00:57:16,543
“If thou shall judge me fair to the Lord,
409
00:57:16,626 --> 00:57:19,209
come to my house and stay in it.”
410
00:57:19,876 --> 00:57:20,834
Easy.
411
00:57:20,918 --> 00:57:23,584
We can't keep going our way
without food.
412
00:57:24,959 --> 00:57:26,501
You're a capuchin, right?
413
00:57:28,793 --> 00:57:31,001
Please, help us.
414
00:57:31,584 --> 00:57:33,793
We will stick to your rules.
415
00:57:33,876 --> 00:57:36,751
We will speak nothing but Spanish.
416
00:57:37,293 --> 00:57:39,334
We are men of science.
417
00:57:39,418 --> 00:57:42,001
Like St. Thomas Aquinas.
418
00:57:44,001 --> 00:57:45,459
“Do not forget to show hospitality,
419
00:57:45,543 --> 00:57:49,126
for because of it...
420
00:57:49,209 --> 00:57:51,459
...Many unknowingly
421
00:57:52,126 --> 00:57:54,376
hosted my angels.”
422
00:57:59,418 --> 00:58:01,459
I doubt you're angels.
423
00:58:01,543 --> 00:58:05,376
But it is not for me to refuse
hospitality in the house of God.
424
00:58:06,709 --> 00:58:10,876
Be welcome to the Mission
of San Antonio de Padua in Vaupés.
425
00:58:48,918 --> 00:58:52,209
It's forbidden to eat fish
before the rains come.
426
00:59:00,043 --> 00:59:02,668
How long have you been here?
427
00:59:02,751 --> 00:59:05,751
I came after the massacre
of the Peruvians.
428
00:59:07,001 --> 00:59:09,293
It will be ten years soon.
429
00:59:10,001 --> 00:59:12,168
Have you been alone all this time?
430
00:59:12,959 --> 00:59:14,043
No.
431
00:59:14,793 --> 00:59:19,626
Brother Marcelino and the elders
432
00:59:19,709 --> 00:59:23,418
went looking for new disciples
two years ago
433
00:59:23,501 --> 00:59:25,001
and they haven't returned.
434
00:59:25,876 --> 00:59:28,501
Didn't you see them downriver?
435
00:59:33,959 --> 00:59:36,084
Do you only steal boys?
436
00:59:36,709 --> 00:59:38,709
Our mission is sacred.
437
00:59:39,251 --> 00:59:45,168
We must save the souls
of the orphans of the rubber war,
438
00:59:45,251 --> 00:59:49,834
and keep them away
from cannibalism and ignorance.
439
01:00:01,043 --> 01:00:03,501
IN RECOGNITION OF THE COURAGE OF
THE COLOMBIAN RUBBER PIONEERS
440
01:00:03,584 --> 01:00:07,001
WHO BROUGHT CIVILIZATION
TO THE LAND OF CANNIBAL SAVAGES
441
01:00:07,084 --> 01:00:09,626
AND SHOWED THEM THE PATH OF GOD
AND HIS HOLY CHURCH.
442
01:00:09,709 --> 01:00:12,293
RAFAEL REYES
PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA, AUGUST 1907
443
01:00:25,376 --> 01:00:26,626
Hand me a pot.
444
01:00:33,584 --> 01:00:36,334
I know what it's like in here.
445
01:00:36,418 --> 01:00:39,209
Whites are crazy.
446
01:00:48,918 --> 01:00:50,126
Come.
447
01:00:52,709 --> 01:00:53,709
Come. Don't be afraid.
448
01:01:01,584 --> 01:01:05,251
Look. This is chiricaspi.
449
01:01:06,459 --> 01:01:08,834
A gift that our Karipulakena ancestors
received from the gods.
450
01:01:08,918 --> 01:01:11,459
We received the sun's semen when Yeba,
451
01:01:11,543 --> 01:01:14,459
the sun's daughter, scratched his penis
452
01:01:14,543 --> 01:01:17,209
and ground the semen to dust.
453
01:01:17,293 --> 01:01:21,168
We must do the same
with this plant before boiling it.
454
01:01:22,418 --> 01:01:24,043
Help me.
455
01:01:30,793 --> 01:01:34,043
This is the strongest defense
we have against any disease.
456
01:01:34,793 --> 01:01:36,959
It will help you endure.
457
01:01:37,793 --> 01:01:40,543
Priests picked me up too,
when the rubber barons killed my people.
458
01:01:40,626 --> 01:01:43,001
They didn't surrender to them,
459
01:01:46,084 --> 01:01:50,293
they fought.
460
01:01:50,376 --> 01:01:52,043
That's what you have to do.
461
01:01:52,584 --> 01:01:56,626
Don't believe their crazy tales
about eating the body of their gods.
462
01:01:57,459 --> 01:01:59,668
They give you food,
463
01:02:00,209 --> 01:02:03,001
but they don't respect the prohibitions.
464
01:02:03,084 --> 01:02:06,459
One day they will finish
all the food in the jungle.
465
01:02:09,626 --> 01:02:12,293
You are still small,
so the jungle will forgive you.
466
01:02:12,376 --> 01:02:14,418
Master Caapi will guide you.
467
01:02:14,501 --> 01:02:18,793
Every plant, every tree,
every flower is full of wisdom.
468
01:02:20,501 --> 01:02:24,209
Never forget who you are
or where you came from.
469
01:02:24,751 --> 01:02:27,043
Don't let our song fade away.
470
01:03:48,209 --> 01:03:49,709
Don't touch me!
471
01:03:50,209 --> 01:03:53,543
You brought the devil to the community!
472
01:03:54,126 --> 01:03:56,709
You pervert the innocents!
473
01:04:16,918 --> 01:04:18,251
We have to go.
474
01:04:19,626 --> 01:04:22,293
- We must take them.
- We can't.
475
01:04:25,459 --> 01:04:26,918
The others will kill them.
476
01:04:28,668 --> 01:04:31,959
We can't feed them.
477
01:04:40,959 --> 01:04:42,043
Run.
478
01:04:42,959 --> 01:04:44,626
Run.
479
01:06:45,168 --> 01:06:46,793
Which way?
480
01:06:48,251 --> 01:06:50,418
I don't know. You're the guide.
481
01:07:28,126 --> 01:07:30,001
You could help me.
482
01:07:31,793 --> 01:07:33,709
You won't find anything in there.
483
01:08:14,584 --> 01:08:16,584
Are you interested in rubber?
484
01:08:18,959 --> 01:08:22,126
I've never seen a strain like this.
485
01:08:23,043 --> 01:08:24,293
Rubber means death.
486
01:08:24,376 --> 01:08:26,959
But it's what you're looking for, right?
487
01:08:27,043 --> 01:08:28,959
You are two men.
488
01:08:29,043 --> 01:08:30,168
What are you talking about?
489
01:08:30,251 --> 01:08:32,168
Why do you insist on coming with me
490
01:08:33,126 --> 01:08:35,876
if you're not going to help me?
491
01:08:37,376 --> 01:08:39,001
I've... remembered.
492
01:08:39,501 --> 01:08:41,001
What did you remember?
493
01:08:41,668 --> 01:08:46,043
Did you remember where to find yakruna?
494
01:08:46,626 --> 01:08:50,418
I remembered something.
I don't know what it means.
495
01:08:51,459 --> 01:08:55,168
Maybe I'm not a chullachaqui anymore.
496
01:08:56,043 --> 01:08:57,626
Which way?
497
01:08:58,918 --> 01:08:59,834
Right.
498
01:09:24,876 --> 01:09:28,043
We're finding what you're looking for.
499
01:09:39,543 --> 01:09:41,251
We have to go back!
500
01:09:44,293 --> 01:09:46,043
We can't.
501
01:09:47,251 --> 01:09:49,084
They're already here.
502
01:10:00,584 --> 01:10:03,376
I've been here before.
503
01:10:44,543 --> 01:10:46,376
The Messiah is not taking visitors.
504
01:10:48,584 --> 01:10:50,126
We don't want to visit him.
505
01:10:50,209 --> 01:10:52,418
We just wish to go on our way.
506
01:10:52,501 --> 01:10:53,751
That is not possible.
507
01:10:53,834 --> 01:10:56,376
The Eden of our community
depends on its secret.
508
01:10:57,209 --> 01:10:59,709
We won't tell anyone.
509
01:11:12,668 --> 01:11:14,209
Show me that.
510
01:11:39,668 --> 01:11:41,334
Is this a gift?
511
01:11:42,793 --> 01:11:44,543
Are you the wise men of the East?
512
01:11:51,126 --> 01:11:53,959
But there's only two of you...
Balthazar... and Melchior...
513
01:11:54,459 --> 01:11:56,459
Where is Caspar?
514
01:11:57,501 --> 01:11:59,709
He... lost his way.
515
01:12:26,668 --> 01:12:28,793
He was invited to suicide
for causing with his betrayal
516
01:12:28,876 --> 01:12:33,501
the sickness that saddens our Eden.
517
01:12:49,918 --> 01:12:52,709
I'm not doing miracles today!
518
01:13:54,543 --> 01:13:56,376
So you're the Wise Men of the East?
519
01:13:57,543 --> 01:13:59,751
We are scientists,
520
01:13:59,834 --> 01:14:01,834
looking for sacred plants.
521
01:14:02,293 --> 01:14:03,959
Sacred plants?
522
01:14:04,876 --> 01:14:08,126
The only thing sacred
in this jungle is me!
523
01:14:45,168 --> 01:14:46,501
Cure her.
524
01:15:02,626 --> 01:15:05,293
You have to take her to a hospital.
525
01:15:22,876 --> 01:15:27,209
This girl has leishmaniasis.
You won't be able to cure her.
526
01:16:00,043 --> 01:16:01,876
The Messiah is in a bad mood today.
527
01:16:03,251 --> 01:16:07,043
But you have to understand,
his wife is sick. I would be upset too.
528
01:16:19,043 --> 01:16:20,376
I hope he can cure her.
529
01:16:21,001 --> 01:16:25,293
I wouldn't want for you
to be invited to suicide.
530
01:17:29,459 --> 01:17:31,543
This is madness.
531
01:17:43,709 --> 01:17:45,043
Don't you care?
532
01:17:46,168 --> 01:17:49,334
I do. Something went wrong.
533
01:17:57,918 --> 01:17:59,126
They are now
534
01:17:59,209 --> 01:18:04,251
the worst of both worlds.
535
01:18:31,959 --> 01:18:34,459
Gratias agens benedixit.
536
01:18:34,543 --> 01:18:38,501
Accipite et bibite ex eo omnes:
537
01:18:38,584 --> 01:18:41,376
hic est enim calix
538
01:18:42,209 --> 01:18:44,751
Mei sanguinis sed aetérni.
539
01:18:52,209 --> 01:18:53,793
Quiet!
540
01:18:55,584 --> 01:18:57,001
Quiet!
541
01:19:02,876 --> 01:19:06,584
Oh, Great Wise Men of the East
542
01:19:06,668 --> 01:19:10,251
who have found
the holy path to Bethlehem.
543
01:19:11,376 --> 01:19:13,876
Bless our drink!
544
01:19:52,168 --> 01:19:54,293
He cured my wife,
545
01:19:54,376 --> 01:19:57,293
now he will cure us all!
546
01:20:04,584 --> 01:20:09,334
Let us celebrate this day, brothers!
547
01:20:46,209 --> 01:20:47,168
Drink!
548
01:20:49,668 --> 01:20:50,876
Drink!
549
01:20:51,959 --> 01:20:55,168
I am not worthy of drinking
from the same cup as the son of God.
550
01:20:56,251 --> 01:20:58,001
The son of God.
551
01:20:58,626 --> 01:21:04,043
The son of God, I am the Messiah
and Redeemer of the Indians,
552
01:21:04,126 --> 01:21:07,709
Manducate ex hoc omnes! Selvus Rex!
553
01:21:07,793 --> 01:21:10,543
The son oi God, Agnus De“.!
554
01:21:10,918 --> 01:21:13,043
Eat! Eat!
555
01:21:14,084 --> 01:21:15,376
Eat me!
556
01:21:27,751 --> 01:21:30,501
Everyone, eat me!
557
01:21:30,584 --> 01:21:33,668
Let us eat the body of the Lord!
558
01:22:25,918 --> 01:22:28,209
There's too much weight.
559
01:22:39,168 --> 01:22:41,043
What the hell are you doing?
560
01:22:42,543 --> 01:22:43,793
Stop bothering me!
561
01:22:45,376 --> 01:22:47,876
What's your problem with these boxes?
562
01:22:47,959 --> 01:22:51,793
Your things will only lead you
to madness and death.
563
01:22:52,293 --> 01:22:55,793
What are you talking about?
You poisoned them!
564
01:22:55,876 --> 01:22:57,334
I didn't poison them
565
01:22:57,418 --> 01:22:59,459
I just gave them something
to think better.
566
01:23:00,543 --> 01:23:04,168
They are Makus.
They were not born of the anaconda.
567
01:23:06,751 --> 01:23:09,334
They are less than human.
568
01:23:09,876 --> 01:23:12,918
You sound like
one of those rubber barons.
569
01:23:16,209 --> 01:23:19,001
You're just like them.
And you're lying to me.
570
01:23:19,709 --> 01:23:22,709
You remember everything.
571
01:23:35,918 --> 01:23:37,793
Don't. Please, stay.
572
01:23:39,751 --> 01:23:42,459
I still feel like a chullachaqui.
573
01:23:42,543 --> 01:23:44,793
But I'm starting to remember.
574
01:23:45,918 --> 01:23:49,334
My mission was to give this knowledge
to my people.
575
01:23:51,459 --> 01:23:54,834
But the rubber barons
and the Colombians came.
576
01:23:55,334 --> 01:23:58,043
And I was left alone.
577
01:24:00,001 --> 01:24:01,209
I need to remember.
578
01:24:02,501 --> 01:24:04,501
I need to continue
the song of the Cohiuano.
579
01:24:05,168 --> 01:24:06,876
Are you going to show me the way?
580
01:24:07,709 --> 01:24:10,376
I don't know it.
You have to find it for yourself.
581
01:24:11,959 --> 01:24:13,126
Throw away your luggage.
582
01:24:53,001 --> 01:24:54,293
There. Happy?
583
01:24:56,209 --> 01:24:57,543
Show me that box.
584
01:24:58,709 --> 01:25:00,834
I'm not going to let you throw it away.
585
01:25:03,293 --> 01:25:04,876
Then show it to me.
586
01:25:19,501 --> 01:25:21,084
What is it?
587
01:25:51,793 --> 01:25:56,709
This sound calms me.
588
01:25:58,501 --> 01:26:02,709
It takes me back to my father's house
in Boston, to my ancestors.
589
01:26:59,459 --> 01:27:04,543
To become a warrior, every Cohiuano man
must leave everything behind
590
01:27:04,626 --> 01:27:08,876
and go into the jungle,
guided only by his dreams.
591
01:27:08,959 --> 01:27:10,334
In that journey,
592
01:27:10,418 --> 01:27:13,876
he has to discover, in solitude
and silence, who he really is.
593
01:27:14,793 --> 01:27:18,626
He has to become
a Vagabond of dreams.
594
01:27:19,584 --> 01:27:24,209
Some get lost and never come back.
595
01:27:24,293 --> 01:27:28,126
But those that do,
596
01:27:31,376 --> 01:27:33,376
are ready to face whatever may come.
597
01:27:34,834 --> 01:27:38,543
Where are they?
598
01:27:41,376 --> 01:27:43,834
Where are the chants that mothers
used to sing to their babies?
599
01:27:43,918 --> 01:27:46,293
Where are the stories of the elders,
the whispers of love,
600
01:27:46,376 --> 01:27:48,293
the chronicles of battle?
601
01:27:48,959 --> 01:27:50,751
Where have they gone?
602
01:28:08,709 --> 01:28:09,543
You dreamed.
603
01:28:17,751 --> 01:28:19,584
Tell me what you dreamed.
604
01:28:24,251 --> 01:28:25,168
I didn't.
605
01:28:26,543 --> 01:28:28,709
You're lying.
You saw the eyes of the jaguar.
606
01:28:31,168 --> 01:28:33,918
I said I didn't dream!
607
01:28:39,751 --> 01:28:41,501
You're afraid.
608
01:28:42,709 --> 01:28:44,334
But you must listen.
609
01:28:50,459 --> 01:28:52,668
I'm not afraid to dream.
610
01:28:53,209 --> 01:28:56,084
I'm afraid to die in this hellhole.
611
01:28:56,959 --> 01:28:59,959
You're messing with my head
with your dreams
612
01:29:00,043 --> 01:29:02,626
and your prohibitions.
613
01:29:26,251 --> 01:29:28,876
Stop. You can't fish.
There's no permission.
614
01:29:29,793 --> 01:29:31,334
Permission from whom?
615
01:29:32,084 --> 01:29:33,251
Yours?
616
01:29:33,668 --> 01:29:35,709
The Owner of the Fishes?
617
01:29:36,209 --> 01:29:40,293
I'm sick because of respecting
your ridiculous prohibitions!
618
01:29:41,334 --> 01:29:43,834
Easy, Theo, you're delirious.
619
01:29:44,584 --> 01:29:46,043
Let me go!
620
01:29:50,001 --> 01:29:51,709
You want to kill me too?
621
01:29:52,209 --> 01:29:53,876
Drop the arrow.
622
01:29:56,793 --> 01:29:59,584
This river is full of fish!
623
01:30:00,251 --> 01:30:02,459
We cannot possibly end them!
624
01:30:34,001 --> 01:30:35,834
How can you help him?
625
01:30:37,334 --> 01:30:39,376
Have you forgotten what they did to you?
626
01:30:39,459 --> 01:30:41,793
It wasn't him.
627
01:30:41,876 --> 01:30:44,043
He paid off my debt in the plantation.
628
01:30:45,209 --> 01:30:46,709
Then you became his slave.
629
01:30:47,876 --> 01:30:50,168
I ain't nobody's slave.
630
01:30:50,251 --> 01:30:53,418
I'm with him because we need him.
He can teach the whites.
631
01:30:53,501 --> 01:30:56,668
How can he learn
if he doesn't respect the jungle?
632
01:30:56,751 --> 01:30:59,084
He's afraid.
But he can learn.
633
01:30:59,168 --> 01:31:02,459
He's a hero to his people. They all
admire him and listen to his stories.
634
01:31:02,543 --> 01:31:05,584
If we can't get the whites to learn,
it will be the end of us.
635
01:31:05,668 --> 01:31:08,043
The end of everything.
636
01:31:24,001 --> 01:31:26,501
Kariauatinga, are you all right?
637
01:31:44,251 --> 01:31:47,584
They're like ants.
638
01:31:48,209 --> 01:31:50,334
They'll eat anything, and they die fat.
639
01:32:03,709 --> 01:32:06,751
You have no discipline!
640
01:32:08,043 --> 01:32:10,043
You'll devour everything!
641
01:32:18,084 --> 01:32:19,584
How is he?
642
01:32:22,459 --> 01:32:23,626
Better.
643
01:32:24,126 --> 01:32:26,501
Give him the Sun's semen.
644
01:32:28,334 --> 01:32:30,834
You have to help him!
You can't keep this resentment!
645
01:32:32,001 --> 01:32:36,251
His body's dirty again.
It would be like giving him poison.
646
01:32:39,709 --> 01:32:41,793
We have to arrive with my people soon.
647
01:32:41,876 --> 01:32:44,876
We have to talk to yakruna.
Ask it to forgive him.
648
01:32:44,959 --> 01:32:48,293
We are so close.
649
01:32:49,126 --> 01:32:52,043
You'll feel better tomorrow. Eat.
650
01:34:03,418 --> 01:34:05,126
It's here.
651
01:34:06,626 --> 01:34:08,418
To the left.
652
01:35:51,876 --> 01:35:52,959
Freeze!
653
01:35:53,043 --> 01:35:54,543
Colombian?
654
01:35:57,876 --> 01:35:59,668
Stop! Freeze!
655
01:36:04,209 --> 01:36:06,084
Are you Colombians?
656
01:36:07,043 --> 01:36:08,376
I don't know.
657
01:36:08,876 --> 01:36:10,876
Get out of here!
658
01:36:32,876 --> 01:36:34,376
Sirgu] is here.
659
01:36:45,709 --> 01:36:48,709
Have a drink of yakruna.
We're toasting to the end of the world!
660
01:37:03,543 --> 01:37:05,709
How can you allow this?
661
01:37:06,834 --> 01:37:07,793
Why?
662
01:37:54,793 --> 01:37:57,126
Yakruna must not be cultivated...
663
01:38:01,876 --> 01:38:03,876
I misunderstood the signs.
They were clear.
664
01:38:04,793 --> 01:38:06,459
You're the one with the mandate!
665
01:38:06,876 --> 01:38:09,376
- You are the snake!
- Calm down!
666
01:38:10,876 --> 01:38:12,793
Give it back to me!
667
01:38:15,168 --> 01:38:17,043
You're not worthy of this!
668
01:38:19,293 --> 01:38:22,001
You bring hell and death to earth!
669
01:38:31,626 --> 01:38:33,626
The Colombians are coming!
670
01:38:52,418 --> 01:38:54,334
This is yakruna!
671
01:38:55,001 --> 01:38:57,959
The greatest knowledge
of what my people once were!
672
01:38:58,043 --> 01:39:00,459
I won't let you take it away.
673
01:39:01,293 --> 01:39:02,751
Never!
674
01:39:11,376 --> 01:39:13,709
The Colombians are coming!
675
01:43:43,418 --> 01:43:45,584
What story is it telling?
676
01:43:47,501 --> 01:43:50,126
How God created the world.
677
01:43:51,084 --> 01:43:54,459
This is the way you seek. Listen to it.
678
01:43:55,709 --> 01:44:00,126
It's beautiful,
679
01:44:00,668 --> 01:44:02,209
but it is only a story.
680
01:44:02,293 --> 01:44:03,959
It's not a story.
681
01:44:04,834 --> 01:44:07,459
It's a dream. You must follow it.
682
01:44:07,543 --> 01:44:10,793
I am a man of science.
Of real, palpable facts.
683
01:44:10,876 --> 01:44:14,834
I can't be guided
by dreams that I don't have.
684
01:44:15,501 --> 01:44:17,543
You do follow them.
685
01:44:19,918 --> 01:44:22,043
How many edges does this river have?
686
01:44:23,793 --> 01:44:24,793
Two.
687
01:44:24,876 --> 01:44:26,293
How do you know that?
688
01:44:28,668 --> 01:44:30,793
There's one, and there's another.
689
01:44:32,084 --> 01:44:34,084
One plus one equals two.
690
01:44:34,584 --> 01:44:36,251
How can you know that?
691
01:44:39,959 --> 01:44:43,876
Because! One plus one equals two.
692
01:44:44,834 --> 01:44:48,334
Well, you're wrong. This river
has three, five, a thousand edges.
693
01:44:48,668 --> 01:44:52,626
A child can understand that easily, but
not you. The river's the anaconda's son.
694
01:44:54,293 --> 01:44:57,043
We learn that in our dreams,
but it's the real truth,
695
01:44:57,793 --> 01:45:00,001
more real than what you call reality.
696
01:45:22,584 --> 01:45:24,751
What do you see?
697
01:45:25,209 --> 01:45:29,668
The world is like this, huge.
698
01:45:30,126 --> 01:45:32,376
But you choose to see just this.
699
01:45:33,001 --> 01:45:36,209
The world speaks.
I can only listen.
700
01:45:36,751 --> 01:45:39,376
Hear the song of your ancestors.
701
01:45:39,834 --> 01:45:41,334
This is the way you're looking for.
702
01:45:41,418 --> 01:45:43,876
Listen for real.
703
01:45:44,293 --> 01:45:47,293
Not only with your ears.
704
01:46:05,334 --> 01:46:07,084
Can I have some?
705
01:46:08,626 --> 01:46:11,876
You're not having anything
until you decide to listen.
706
01:46:16,251 --> 01:46:18,043
Can I have some caapi?
707
01:46:20,876 --> 01:46:25,251
Caapi won't help you
if you don't want to believe.
708
01:46:33,001 --> 01:46:34,543
You can help me.
709
01:46:37,584 --> 01:46:39,834
This is all I can do.
710
01:47:06,418 --> 01:47:08,793
Which way?
711
01:47:15,709 --> 01:47:17,126
How do you know?
712
01:47:19,126 --> 01:47:20,459
I know...
713
01:47:24,001 --> 01:47:25,376
I believe...
714
01:48:09,584 --> 01:48:11,418
Is that the Workshop of the Gods?
715
01:48:14,793 --> 01:48:16,793
This is where we had to come.
716
01:49:57,418 --> 01:49:58,876
Look!
717
01:50:17,418 --> 01:50:19,084
It is ready.
718
01:50:20,584 --> 01:50:22,418
What are you doing?
719
01:50:22,918 --> 01:50:25,751
Don't damage it. We have to store it.
720
01:50:25,834 --> 01:50:27,209
No.
721
01:50:31,334 --> 01:50:33,501
We have to make it into caapi.
722
01:50:37,709 --> 01:50:42,001
This is the last yakruna plant
in the world.
723
01:50:42,668 --> 01:50:44,876
You have to become one with it.
724
01:50:45,709 --> 01:50:46,959
How do you know that?
725
01:50:47,834 --> 01:50:50,084
I destroyed all the others.
726
01:50:51,876 --> 01:50:54,459
It is our last hope,
727
01:50:54,543 --> 01:50:58,043
my gift to you.
728
01:51:00,001 --> 01:51:02,293
I didn't come here for this.
729
01:51:02,376 --> 01:51:04,001
Yes, you did.
730
01:51:04,751 --> 01:51:06,543
No.
731
01:51:14,376 --> 01:51:17,084
There's a war out there.
732
01:51:23,084 --> 01:51:26,543
My people need rubber.
High-purity rubber.
733
01:51:29,459 --> 01:51:31,209
I have to take it with me.
734
01:51:31,626 --> 01:51:33,626
Did you lie to me again?
735
01:51:35,126 --> 01:51:39,293
You want to make weapons with yakruna?
You want to turn it into death?
736
01:51:41,168 --> 01:51:42,376
Give it to me.
737
01:52:04,084 --> 01:52:05,543
Do it. Do it!
738
01:52:06,501 --> 01:52:08,168
I don't care.
739
01:52:08,793 --> 01:52:10,751
It is my duty to die,
740
01:52:11,584 --> 01:52:14,209
but yakruna dies with me.
741
01:52:14,668 --> 01:52:18,376
You are chullachaqui too,
and you will be one forever.
742
01:52:51,251 --> 01:52:53,168
Take off your shirt.
743
01:53:06,168 --> 01:53:07,918
Let me see your back.
744
01:53:23,209 --> 01:53:26,126
This is the Medora caapi.
745
01:53:26,209 --> 01:53:28,834
The most powerful of all.
746
01:53:29,668 --> 01:53:31,876
It existed before creation,
747
01:53:32,751 --> 01:53:34,709
before the snake descended.
748
01:53:35,626 --> 01:53:38,709
It will take you to see her.
749
01:53:40,834 --> 01:53:43,626
She is enormous, fearsome.
But you must not fear it.
750
01:53:44,668 --> 01:53:47,834
You must let her embrace you.
751
01:53:49,084 --> 01:53:53,209
Her embrace
will take you to ancient places,
752
01:53:55,376 --> 01:54:00,876
where life doesn't exist,
not even its embryo.
753
01:54:18,751 --> 01:54:20,209
Drink.
754
01:54:26,793 --> 01:54:28,793
I... tried to kill you.
755
01:54:29,543 --> 01:54:31,209
I don”: deserve this.
756
01:54:31,834 --> 01:54:33,709
I killed you too,
757
01:54:35,793 --> 01:54:41,334
before, in time without time,
yesterday, 40 years, maybe 100,
758
01:54:41,834 --> 01:54:43,793
or a million years ago.
759
01:54:44,293 --> 01:54:47,834
But you came back.
760
01:54:48,709 --> 01:54:53,459
I wasn't meant to teach my people.
I was meant to teach you.
761
01:55:22,834 --> 01:55:25,334
Give them more than
what they asked for.
762
01:55:25,418 --> 01:55:28,084
Give them a song.
763
01:55:28,168 --> 01:55:31,959
Tell them everything you see...
Everything you feel.
764
01:55:32,043 --> 01:55:34,834
Come back a whole man.
765
01:55:47,084 --> 01:55:49,001
You are Cohiuano.
766
01:59:28,251 --> 01:59:30,418
Karamakate!
767
02:00:54,459 --> 02:00:58,126
This film is inspired by
the travel diaries of...
768
02:01:05,209 --> 02:01:08,293
These diaries are the only known
accounts of many Amazonian cultures.
769
02:01:08,376 --> 02:01:11,751
This film is dedicated to all the
peoples whose song we will never know.
