HEAVEN EARTH I 2008 I a film by Rudolf Amaral and Harald Scherz
poetry by Royce S. Alido
HEAVEN EARTH explores amazonian ayahuasca-shamanism culture in context with tourism.
The documentary film portrays all day activities of Percy, a peruvian healer and another western ayahuasquero, named Ron. Both live near Iquitos and work with ayahuasca.
Participants of ayahuasca ceremonies, touroperators and –guides, as well as western visionquesters recount episodes of their internal imagery and journeys, related to a growing global pop cultural phenomenon, swinging between psychotherapeutical healing procedure and spiritual sell-out.
The film follows indepth interviews of its protagonists and persons linked to the field of ayahuasca-shamanism in Iquitos and explores the social, and cultural framework of a global subculture.
