Plant Explorer Richard Evans Schultes was a real life Indiana Jones whose discoveries of hallucinogenic plants laid the foundation for the psychedelic sixties. Now in this two hour History Channel TV Special, his former student Wade Davis, follows in his footsteps to experience the discoveries that Schultes brought to the western world. Shot around the planet, from Canada to the Amazon, we experience rarely seen native hallucinogenic ceremonies and find out the true events leading up to the Psychedelic Sixties.

Richard Evans Schultes revolutionized science and spawned another revolution he never imagined.
Karamakate fue en su día un poderoso chamán del Amazonas, es el último superviviente de su pueblo, y ahora vive en aislamiento voluntario en lo más profundo de la selva. Lleva años de total soledad que lo han convertido en chullachaqui, una cáscara vacía de hombre, privado de emociones y recuerdos. Pero su vida vacía da un vuelco el día en que a su remota guarida llega Evan, un etnobotánico americano en busca de la yakruna, una poderosa planta oculta, capaz de enseñar a soñar. Karamakate accede a acompañar a Evan en su búsqueda y juntos emprenden un viaje al corazón de la selva en el que el pasado, presente y futuro se confunden, y en el que el chamán irá recuperando sus recuerdos perdidos. Esos recuerdos traen consigo vestigios de una amistad traicionada y de un profundo dolor que no liberará a Karamakate hasta que no transmita por última vez su conocimiento ancestral, el cual parecía destinado a perderse para siempre.

For ancient Mayans, cocoa was as good as gold. For subsistence farmer Eladio Pop, his cocoa crops are the only riches he has to support his wife and 15 children. As he wields his machete with ease, slicing a path to his cocoa trees, the small jungle plot he cultivates in southern Belize remains pristine and wild. His dreams for his children to inherit the land and the traditions of their Mayan ancestors present a familiar challenge. The kids feel their father's philosophies don't fit into a global economy, so they're charting their own course. Rohan Fernando's direction tenderly displays a generational shift, causalities of progress in modern times and a man valiantly protecting an endangered culture. Breathtaking vistas of lush rainforests contrast with the urban dystopia that pulled Pops children away from him. Will one child return to carry on a waning way of life
