Deep in the Amazon, Bruce Parry undergoes a brutal training regime to prepare his mind and body to take ayahuasca and understand how the Waimaha connect with the forest around them.

Bruce Parry visits the Mucubal, a community surviving in Angola’s harsh Namib Desert, and experiences an extraordinary way of life protected by extreme isolation.

On the Indonesian island of Sumba, Bruce Parry lives in a village where the dead are buried amongst the living and where powerful ancestral spirits demand blood sacrifice.
