El Sendero de la Anaconda

The documentary is set in the Amazon forest. Two men make the journey. One is the Canadian writer Wade Davis. The other is the anthropologist Martín von Hildebrand. The two of them go into the remote parts of Colombia. The route runs along the Apaporis river. There they travel together with indigenous communities. Davis is following the trail of his old teacher. His teacher was Richard Evans Schultes. Von Hildebrand is after something else. He wants to build a corridor between the regions. His aim is to protect the forest from exploitation. Alessandro Angulo directed the seventy four minute documentary. The Colombian production was finished in 2019.
