Ancestral Secrets. Keepers of Indigenous Medicine

A unique series. Twelve indigenous communities in America open their door to medicinal rituals that they have kept secret for centuries. They will share with the world a sacred knowledge, which unlike the modern pharmaceutical industry, does not cure diseases but preserves health. A provocative vision about nature, drugs and what we understand as well-being. Most of the ceremonies and rituals shown in this series had never been filmed before.
