The Sacred Science is a documentary film about eight people with various health issues who travel to the Amazon rainforest to participate in a traditional healing program with the indigenous Shipibo people. The film follows their journey as they undergo plant-based treatments, engage in spiritual practices, and reflect on their experiences.
Throughout the film, the participants share their stories and struggles with chronic illness, including cancer, autoimmune disease, and addiction. They also discuss the limitations and failures of Western medicine in addressing their conditions.
As they embark on the healing program, the participants confront physical and emotional challenges and begin to experience significant improvements in their health. They also learn about the Shipibo's deep understanding and reverence for the natural world and the interconnectedness of all living things.
The film ultimately explores the potential of traditional healing practices and the importance of integrating both Western and indigenous approaches to health and wellness.
