The Shaman and His Apprentice
In a world where there are no hospitals or doctors, the medicine man or shaman cures the sick using purely supernatural powers. Jose is a master shaman of the Yaminahua tribe in the Peruvian Amazon.
His young apprentice Curaka only came into contact with the outside world five years ago, when his group of Yaminahua were decimated by a flu epidemic. 'Just a few of us survived. So now, when Jose has prepared me, I want to learn how to cure.'
But does Curaka have the strength and determination? Anthropolgist GRAHAM TOWNSLEY Photography ANDY JILLINGS Film editor DAI VAUGHAN Director HOWARD REID
