AYAHUASCA NOW, voices of a silent war

After many years of life scarred by PTSD, 5 men and 2 women veterans of the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, travel to the heart of the Peruvian Amazon to participate in shamanic ceremonies and heal their traumas.

This documentary tells their stories, their experiences and their traumas. For them, PTSD has become an invisible wound that traditional medicine has not been able to heal.

Frustrated with a society that does not understand them, and unable to find answers with conventional treatment methods, they decide to embark on a journey of transformation that will change their lives forever.

In a last act of faith, these veterans decide to travel to the Amazon jungle in search of a much-needed cure. They must relive their own stories and fight their own demons.

The jungle will become the battlefield; a group of shamans will become their allies; ancient ceremonies will become the weapons. The enemy... themselves.

Will they find the peace and redemption they crave through this ancient medicine?

These are their stories before, during and after this experience. Stories of war, mental health and nature as the only relief from their traumas.

At the end just voices of a silent war that need to be heard.
