“We went to Putumayo planning to make one type of film, but ended up making something very different,” explained Neil White during a presentation at CEU’s School of Public Policy on January 12. The film that White and Lesly Vela Cobo traveled to Colombia to make was about the indigenous communities living in southern Colombia and their relationship with Yagé (Ayahuasca), a plant that they have used for thousands of years to treat illnesses and also in ritual ceremonies.
