Apaporis: In Search of One River

The documentary follows the journey of ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes, tracing his footsteps from Mitu to Apaporis. It captures the beauty of the Colombian Amazon while documenting the rich traditions and myths of its indigenous peoples. Through a travel diary format, the film presents a self-reflexive narrative that addresses the loss of languages and traditional knowledge.

Wade Davis, a student of Schultes and a National Geographic Explorer, contributes to the film by sharing his insights and experiences. Apaporis reveals the unique and often uncharted aspects of this rainforest, making it significant for those interested in environmental studies and cultural anthropology. The film not only showcases the natural beauty of the Amazon but also raises important questions about preservation and cultural heritage.
