Tomorrow night, July 6: GreenCine proudly presents the Documentary Grand Prize winner of the DivX, Inc., Presents the GreenCine Online Film Festival. Colum Stapleton's Empire of Juramidam is a haunting exploration of Christianity's strangest offspring, The Santo Daime Church (a.k.a. the Church of the Eclectic Universal Flowing Light), whose ceremonies are based around the consumption of a bitter hallucinogenic 'tea' called Ayahuasca. The apocalyptic doctrine and churches originated in their present day headquarters in the heart of the Amazon. They are now spreading discreetly and illegally into many parts of the world. Their story has never been uncovered before.

The cult known as Santo Daime or the Eclectic Church of the Flowing Light have been damned by people in the UK, all over Europe and now they have arrived in the US. This is a growing religious sect which feeds its followers, including children, on Ayahuasca which has long been used for Shamanism among tribal peoples of the Amazon Rainforest during rituals. This cult has 30 churches in Europe and is now trying to break into the USA.


The followers of Santo Daime also use cannabis smoking as part of their sacrament and families who have members in this cult fell completely helpless with their children arriving back from the rainforest in a zombie state, unable to talk and psychotic. They claim to hear voices and during their trip the members who can stand, some fall down due to the strength of the drug, hop from foot-to-foot chanting.
