Worth watching

A very human story about finding your identity and inner voice. Thank you. We get conditioned by society to fit a mold that is never a natural fit to our inner being. How we unwind from that is a journey we all invariably then have to face in our lives.

Dealing with depression

A difficult to watch story of depression seeking help from Peruvian hallucinogens.

Beautiful

This is a very human film. Now dont get me wrong, there were parts I felt was slightly.. I dont know, hippy, but it really didn't take from the film. What I found the most beautiful part, is the change in his eyes at the end of the film. His eyes at the beginning had no life, there's a sparkle by the end.

Loved the story

The message that this world is sending to most of us, that we have to be the best in everything we do, to work hard to get to the top and if we don't succed, we are a failure, puts a tremendous pressure. This pressure can lead to depression, like your brain and your body just wants to shut down from everything around. For me this movie was about finding yourself, your roots, going back to nature, going back to the basic things that metter. Thank you James!

Sad then happy

Worth sticking with, some parts are frustrating because the film confirm how in any small corner of the world there are people looking to exploit and profit from nature, but definitely worth seeing the journey taken by James. He is a very lovely human 💙

Quotes
James: I never had self-love. I didn't know the source of love. I didn't know how to find that wholeness, that fulfillment, that completeness, that feeling of well-being, of internal love. The answers that society provided for me was that comes from a woman, or that comes from being rich, or that comes from being famous and liked by people and being popular. I don't think those answers are true.
