In this story of discovery and hope, a fatal disease comes to the Tirio village in the Amazon leaving only a few villagers with faith in the shaman's healing. When a foreign woman arrives, she helps the village understand the importance of the shaman's wisdom, and this helps a Tirio boy realize his dream. LeVar and author/ethnobotanist Mark Plotkin visit the Tirio village and meet Kamanya, the boy from the book, who has become a shaman. We learn how the rainforest remains a vital source for modern medicines and we join the shaman in a search for healing plants. Based on the book by Lynne Cherry and Mark J. Plotkin.
