Pashkita - Last of the Shamans Independent Film Pitch

by Rusty Johnson
(Ulster Park, New York)

I'm from NY, an Amazon explorer, and married to an Amazon native. When I first went to the Peruvian Amazon a bug bit me and laid eggs in my finger. They hatched and ate their way out of me for a over a year. Doctors were baffled. I returned to the jungle and a 90 yr old shaman cured me in 6 days. I have gotten to know here and she now is like a grandmother to me.

It haunts me that one day she will die and all of her 90 years worth of healing knowledge of the Amazon will be lost forever. I want to produce a documentary about her as I live in her village and record her story, knowledge, culture.
