EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT is a nominee for "Best Foreign Language Film" with the Academy Awards 2016. The Oscars will be handed out on ABC-TV Sunday Feb. 28 at Los Angeles.
"Serpent" opens in limited theatrical release beginning Feb. 17 at New York City / Feb. 19 at California.
Here is a synopsis, "At once blistering and poetic, the ravages of colonialism cast a dark
shadow over the South American landscape. (It) centers on Karamakate - an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor
of his people - and the two scientists who - over the course of 40 years -
build a friendship with him. The film was inspired by the real-life
journals of two explorers, Theodor Koch-Grünberg and Richard Evans
Schultes who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last
century in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic
Yakruna plant."
