"Vulnerable (and incredible exposed)" is a scene-based film project that aims to show us at our most vulnerable. Not in the things that we say and do, but rather in the things that we wish we could say and do if we didn't feel like we were exposing some deep dark part of ourselves to the rest of the world; a part that we're not ready or willing to share because we feel it'd make us too vulnerable to attacks from outside forces. These are our alter egos at their rawest: our most irrational and emotional selves.

The Sacred Science: Abandoning Western Medicine in Search of Healing in the Amazon Rainforest
“What we did could be seen as extremely risky, careless, perhaps even criminal. At least, that’s what I was told for about 4 months before I transported eight very sick patients down to a remote region of the Amazon rainforest, thousands of miles away from the creature comforts of home, to live isolated in the green abyss for over a month.
Given the circumstances, many were surprised to hear that we received over 400 applications for this “healing journey,” as we called it. People worldwide, suffering from just about every illness you can think of, pleaded to be chosen as one of the eight subjects of our film The Sacred Science, even after we issued a variety of warnings about personal safety, unfathomable dangers such as spiders, jaguars, and my favorite: poisonous snakes (the kind that kill you in less than an hour). After this barrage of terrifying disclaimers (we basically stopped just short of telling them not to come) there was still a line around the block.”

Synopsis (from Youtube page):
Hugh Masekela — musician, activist and father was exiled from his family and native South Africa for over 30 years as a direct result of Apartheid. Undaunted, he would find musical success in America with the 1968 number one hit, Grazin’ In The Grass, and in 1971 he would father a son, Selema Mabena Masekela. Yet shortly thereafter, Hugh would make the choice to leave America and his son for Africa, in an effort to reconnect to his homeland through music and create awareness about the situation in South Africa. 39 years later, Selema, better known as television personality and ESPN X Games host ‘Sal’ Masekela, reflects on his relationship with his father, the accompanying issues of abandonment and addiction, race and self, and the conflicts that influence the choices we make in our lives. Alekesam explores the story of a father exiled from his country, a son exiled from his father, and their mutual attempt to connect to the world, and each other through music.
