The little coastal town of Clark's Harbor seems like the perfect place for psychiatrist Brad Russell and his wife to get a little peace and spend more time with each other.

Could an ancient Indian legend of ghostly tribes and human sacrifice have anything to do with it?
With Pete Smith providing dry off-screen commentary, we watch some serious fishing: a marlin caught near Catalina, a hammerhead shark caught then wrestled in a small rowboat near Baja, the largest (721 pounds) great white shark caught to date in California waters, Chinook Indians catching salmon at Celilo Falls in Oregon - each with his designated place on the river where his ancestors stood, and, last, a crew on a boat off Mexico hoisting and hurling tuna using unbarbed hooks (baited only with a feather) as fast as they can as long as the school is there - backbreaking work - but a $25,000 catch.

Em março de 2011 e abril de 2012, Gisela Motta e Leandro Lima acompanharam dois encontros de xamãs na aldeia Watoriki, no Amazonas, a fim de colaborar em um registro audiovisual dos encontros. O resultado desse testemunho é este filme, em parceria com o sociólogo Laymert Garcia dos Santos, a pesquisadora de cinema Stella Senra e o etnólogo-escritor Bruce Albert. O filme acompanha sensorialmente os trabalhos dos xapiri (Xamãs ou pessoas-espírito), desde seu encontro em Watoriki, até a evolução dos rituais Utupë, onde os xamãs atraem entes que os ajudam a conduzir curas-batalhas contra o mal que atinge a ordem cosmoecológica aparente do mundo. A câmera e edição do filme acompanham simbolicamente as diferentes etapas do ritual com aproximações, sobreposições e deformações da imagem que geram uma imersão profunda do espectador na cerimônia.
We begin at the train station near Montana's Glacier National Park, where Blackfeet Indians meet the arriving tourists. Glacier Park, an off-screen narrator tells us, has the remnants of 60 glaciers, from three ice ages.

After views of lakes, mountains, and trails in the park, it's north to Canada's Waterton Lakes, a vacation spot for Canadian and U.S. families.
