Zamagi magical death
Magical Death is a documentary film by anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon that explores the role of the shaman within the Yanomamo culture, as well as the close relationship shamanism shares with politics within their society.

Chagnon and frequent collaborator Tim Asch allegedly disputed over the content of the film when Asch objected to its graphic depictions of the Yanomami engaging in symbolic death and cannibalism.
The film was awarded the American Film Festival Blue Ribbon.
