Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer plot

A documentary about Carlos Castaneda, a UCLA anthropologist whose book "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" was a major inspiration for the New Age movement. There is some controversy over the authenticity of his work and his perceptions of alternate, extraordinary realities. He is said to have learned ancient Indian ways of accessing other realities from Don Juan, a Yaqui shaman. Ralph Torjan, a former student of Castaneda, tries in this documentary to show that Don Juan is a figment of Castaneda.
