- 1 hr 20 min
Deep in the Andes Mountains of Northern Chile, a South American tribe has held their traditions for thousands of years. Untouched by outside society, the tribe has established a set of laws that keep their citizens from harming one another or nature. What results is a series of ceremonies that are healing and solemn. This documentary goes directly to the source, interviewing tribal leaders, excommunicated members, and children of the tribe to tell the story of their history, present, and future. Their motto is "rise above." They believe that no matter what happens in life, there is always a greater power at work.
