In the Amazonian equatorial forest Laurance Lebrun, a botanist and pharmacologist, studies the traditional pharmacopoeia of the Quicuan, Huaorani and Jivaros indios. In his visit he was able to film some unedited scenes of the preparation of curare. His research led to the creation of a herbarium that permitted the discovery of precious immunological properties.
