In glorious Black & White cinematography, "Embrace of the Serpent" 2016

EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT will open in New York on Feb. 17 & in Los Angeles on Feb. 19, 2016. It was filmed in Black & White. I cannot wait to see this because of the Indigenous Traditions that disappear with the coming of white settlers & priest's to South America. U.S. Tribe's can relate completely.

INDIE-WIRE website synopsis, "Told over the course of two timelines, one set in 1909 and the other in 1940, the beautiful black-and-white Colombian film tells the story of Karamakate, the shaman and last surviving member of his tribe. As his life in the Amazon slowly begins to dissipate with the arrival of Westerners and eager religious opportunists, he develops close relationships with two scientists, both arriving 30 years apart from each other, who are in search of the mysteriously healing psychedelic Yakruna plant."
