Filmed in stunning black and white, SERPENT 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 real-life journals of two explorers who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and remote psychedelic Yakruna plant." --Cover original audio track is English AND German AND Huitoto AND Latin AND Portuguese AND Okaina AND Spanish AND Tikuna AND Wanano Rating/Audience (Video Only): Not Rated Collection: Language Resource Center
