FILM SYNOPSIS:
Tucked inside the jungles of Costa Rica, there is a tribe of indigenous people called BriBri, who have lived in a region of Costa Rica called Talamanca for over 3,000 years. Unfortunately, the BriBri culture faces an uncertain future as land development and nearby deforestation are forcing the natives to adapt to modern ways.
Ken Herft, the filmmaker, narrates the story of these hidden people as it is told to him through the eyes of Don Candido Morales, one of the last medicine men of the tribe. As Candido discusses their struggle for survival and demonstrates how their natural resources are used as traditional medicine, we get to the heart of their culture, their hopes, their fears, and their plans for survival. Ken's journey with Candido also includes a visit to the schools, a boat trip down the Urin River, and an intense hike deep into the jungle to a place called Alturin in the Talamanca, where we see how Candido and his extended family still live the traditional ways.
