WHAT IS OUR PROPOSAL?
To create a documentary that serves to preserve and promote the ancient knowledge that has survived through the oral tradition of our peoples for over 5000 years.
The loss of this priceless treasure would be irreversible and tragic, because in it lies the secret of our health.
