Bruce learns the secrets of the spirits when he joins the Sanema, a group of indigenous people who live in the Upper Caura region of Venezuela, to discover the strange dual-reality world in which they live. The Sanema believe spirits dwell in everything -- the river, the rocks and the animals around them -- in a world as real to them as the jungle they live in. And their shamans can commune with such spirits through the use of hallucinogenic snuff. Now Bruce faces the task of training as a shaman to get an insight into their experiences.

I have a Mayan hammock that I sleep in at night, and I'd think it's a lot more comfortable than the one Bruce gets. ;)

Fascinating, but come on. The tribal leader wearing the Cubs T-Shirt is called Sosa? I'm looking forward to meeting his councilmen MacGuire and Canseco. I think somebody might be messing with Bruce.....
