In the Venezuelan jungle a young shaman, Shake, learned to send The Spirits to destroy his enemies, inciting feuds between villages. Years later, foreigners challenged these practices, preaching another "truth". In this fascinating true story, Shake recalls his struggle to preserve Yanomamo traditions while also seeking out peace.
