Complete Record: Indicates “reel 2” however it is 2000' and probably contains both parts. Documentary portrait of Eduardo Calderon, a fisherman, sculptor, and shaman who, like Casteneda's Don Juan, uses incantations, psychology, and hallucinogenic drugs to practice his healing art among the villagers of Peru. Shown as a wise, warm, fascinating man of exceptional character, Eduardo, through his views of the human psyche, suggests there is more to the practice of medicine than modern technology admits. English subtitles are used when Spanish is spoken.
