The Encounter

In 1969, National Geographic photographer Loren McIntyre became hopelessly lost in a remote part of the Brazilian rainforest while searching for the Mayoruna people. His encounter was to test his perception of the world, bringing the limits of human consciousness into startling focus.

Simon McBurney transports us into the humid depths of the Amazon, his storytelling served by the enveloping presence of binaural technology.
