It reminded me the movie Embrace of the Serpent.

> the film follows two journeys made thirty years apart by the indigenous shaman Karamakate in the Colombian Amazonian jungle, one with Theo, a German ethnographer, and the other with Evan, an American botanist, both of whom are searching for the rare plant yakruna. It was inspired by the travel diaries of Theodor Koch-Grünberg and Richard Evans Schultes, and dedicated to lost Amazonian cultures.

Highly recommend

Note that the parent's description refers to the film of 2015 and not the film of 1918 in TFA.

I was confused for a moment until I remembered that Schultes' trip took place in the 1940s.
