A Holistic Journey
Episode One of a reality series that takes viewers around the world in search of medicinal plants, herbs and holistic healers. Host Asami visits the healing village he helped build with his father, world famous holistic healer Dr. Sebi.
Iyeza Medicine Biopiracy
Indigenous knowledge has been a target for exploitation since colonialism began. Now faced with neo-colonialism in the form of pharmaceutical companies, the battle rages on.

Hitting Africa and the developing world like a tsunami, the biochemical industry is frantically filing patents on ‘newly discovered’ bio resources without compensating the indigenous people who discovered and developed the knowledge for decades.
