Synopsis:

A best-selling Author for over 30 years, Carlos Castaneda inspired millions to break free from social dogma, fueling controversy over his work's authenticity and over his assertions of achieving perception of non-ordinary reality, during an apprenticeship with Yaqui sorcerer, don Juan Matus.

Genius, guru, cult leader or fraud? No one knows for sure.

Castaneda's dominance over his followers was shattered after his death, and five of his highest-ranking women known as 'The Witches' vanished without a trace. To this day, the truth of what happened to them remains clouded mystery.

Now, for the first time, go behind the enigma with former members of Castaneda's Sorcerers Group who offer rare insight into Castaneda's ideology, along with experts in Shamanism, dreaming and mythology.
