Shamans of the Amazon

The Amazon is the last place on Earth where people who have never been contacted by the modern world live. In Ecuador, an uncontacted tribe called the Tageari are next in the firing line and when contact occurs, their health, their faith, their environment, their love - all the things that define their culture - are changed forever. AMAZON - THE INVISIBLE PEOPLE traces the work of an Australian, Doug Ferguson, who went to Ecuador in 1986 to work with Indigenous people. He married a shaman's daughter, fathered two children and built a rainforest home. Doug has helped three tribes secure and demark their ancestoral land, saved more than a million hectares of pristine rainforest in reserves and National Parks, and established sustainable agricultural projects in a nation devastated by slash and burn agriculture. This is the story of Doug Ferguson's work.
