Beyond the Basin

22 July 2009
Deep in the Amazon rain forest, a boy and girl meet in secret. Behind them, their communities wait divided. One a shamanic tribe deep in the forest, the other a Franciscan mission. Both children were born into the tribe, but only one has stayed. Half-way across the world, a young journalist follows them in his dreams, waking up each morning with no recollection of what he has seen. In his waking life he feels the pull of an alien emotion, an urge to leave his own world and seek out theirs. ‘Beyond the Basin’ is a journey into the beauty and complexity of the visionary experience. Delving into the social and metaphysical implications of humanity's oldest form of spiritual practice, it seeks to unravel some of the mystery around our inner worlds
