For a brief moment, the paths of two men will cross - one a Callawaya shaman, the other an American scientist - each looking for a magic medicine to cue disease. Two men, a singular quest. For a fleeting instant, time will stand still and two vista worlds will be one. "The first time that director Kieth Merrill showed me Amazon, I knew that it was a special film. The beauty of the rainforest and the majesty of the river provided a canvas to create lush musical textures and sweeping melodies. The combination of the traditional orchestra along with ethnic woodwinds, percussion and choir, created a musical tapestry as rich as the rainforest itself. I thank Kieth for the stunning visual images which stimulated my emotions and led to the music of Amazon." - Alan Williams
