Roots, Thorns

Filmed on a return visit to the Asháninka in the tropical forest of eastern Peru. Moving in close to people who still live with the land, cook over fires and raise their children in the forest. Earth, river, animals, weather. Forces of turmoil and of nature. Forces that surround the senses at all times.
