This music video brings to life Ayahuasca-induced visions of powerful anacondas, women shamans, and hopeful futures for Shipibo youth. The music is written and performed by Shipibo rapper Mike Romayna and music producer Jimy Marquez, with illustrations by Shipibo painter Darwin Linares Garcia. All paintings and story were produced in the workshop and the film was then animated professionally.

Made by the community of Estirón, this Matses tale tells of a time before the Matses had boats and would cross the river on the back of a giant anaconda. It was made in a two-week workshop set in a remote village in the Amazon rainforest with no electricity or phone signal and involved the entire village in the film-making process. Made as part of the Mitos Animados project based at the university of Bristol.
