SDGundamXSummary from imdb:
Shake is a powerful shaman of the Yanomami people. He wields his power to heal and to protect his people against their enemies in this world and beyond. Tracing his life and the life of his community over 40 years of their history, Shake tells how he and his people grapple with new ideas that come from the outside world and the challenging decisions they make in order to maintain their identity and survive as a people.
I'm not sure how to feel about this film. Christian reviewers love it--they claim it shows how Christianity rescued the Yanomamo's from themselves. However, that message is apparently never overtly stated in the film and is an interpretation of the reviewers themselves. The filmmakers have denied (see the comments for this video on YouTube) having that agenda. Other reviewers have hailed the film as accurately documenting the difficulties indigenous peoples still living a traditional lifestyle face when suddenly confronted with the radical outside ideas of "the modern world."
