Movie • 2015 • Adventure
ReportSynopsis
The epic story of the first contact, encounter, approach, betrayal and, eventually, life-transcending friendship, between Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman, last survivor of his people, and two scientists that, over the course of 40 years, travel through the Amazon in search of a sacred plant that can heal them. Inspired by the journals of the first explorers of the Colombian Amazon, Theodor Koch-Grunberg and Richard Evans Schultes.

Hard to tell but the "wife" of the delusional "messiah" looks pretty young.

At the post-church cult, 'The Massiah's wife is seriously ill and a shot from above her shows her pubic area is dark (with blood presumably? hard to tell in black and white) but you can't see anything in that dark area, so it's more visually implicit.

You see the healed place where an arm was amputated when a one-armed character is shirtless.

Implicitly; a slave begs to be killed and it is made clear that if they don't mercy-kill him he will be tortured to death. They leave and do not kill him. Later we hear him scream from a distance. At the church, a child is whipped brutally.

There is a scene with a man whose eye has been slashed. The wound is healed, but there is a scar running through and around his eye. This is around the 37 min mark.

There is a practice at the post-church cult of 'inviting someone to suicide'. Someone earlier begs to be killed.
