This documentary was made in 1982 and is a stark contrast from documentaries made today. I by that I mean in terms of documentation style and narration. At times I felt a little bored only because of its old school style of film making. This movie is one I would recommend to the budding film student or someone who wants to know how difficult it really is to make a movie. This director faced the nearly impossible odds of the amazon jungle environment (being 1500 miles from civilization), the native people becoming hostle, actors wanting to leave, financial losses and set back after set back. Definately a movie for those interested in film making and knowing what it takes to succeed, but overall I'd probably never watch it again.
