VON PUTTKAMER, and host Dr. WADE DAVIS spent several weeks with the COFAN INDIANS in the rain forests of Equador during the
production of the HISTORY CHANNEL SPECIAL - PEYOTE TO LSD: A PSYCHEDELIC ODYSSEY.
Plant Explorer Richard Evans Schultes was a real life Indiana Jones whose discoveries of hallucinogenic
plants laid the foundation for the psychedelic sixties. Now in this two hour History Channel TV Special, his former student
Wade Davis, follows in his footsteps to experience the discoveries that Schultes brought to the western world. Shot around
the planet, from Canada to the Amazon, we experience rarely seen native hallucinogenic ceremonies and find out the true events
leading up to the Psychedelic Sixties. Featuring author/adventurer Wade Davis ("Serpent and the Rainbow"), Dr. Andrew Weil,
the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and many others, this program tells the story of the discovery of peyote, magic mushrooms and
beyond: one man's little known quest to classify the Plants of the Gods. Richard Evans Schultes revolutionized science and
spawned another revolution he never imagined.
Photographed in HD with the Panasonic Varicam the production team Livied for several weeks
with the Cofan Indians along the Ecuadorian/Colombian border,working closely with Cofan Chief Randy Borman in the village
of Zabalo.
The two hour program is scheduled to be broadcast on April 19 at 10 pm on the HISTORY CHANNEL.
