In the Ecuadorian jungles of the
Amazon, the Waodani people, one of the most violent
societies on the planet, live totally cut off from
civilization. Their homicide rate has brought them
to the brink of extinction. One of their tribal
leaders is Mincayani. Somewhere not far away along
the Amazon, five young North American missionaries
and their families have set out to find the Waodani.
Nate Saint, Jim Elliott, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully
and Roger Youderian eventually locate the Waodani
village and find a sandbar on which to land their
small plane. When one of the tribesmen lies that
the foreigners on the sandbar have abducted and
killed a tribeswoman, Mincayani and his fellow warriors
find their site and spear the five Americans.
The missing missionaries make headlines in the world’s
media and a search ensues. When the Waodani see
the helicopter and the size of the search party
they think the foreigners will take their revenge,
so they burn their huts and flee deeper into the
jungle. Within months of the killings, a Waodani
woman who had fled the tribe, helps gain entry into
the tribe for the wife of one missionary and the
sister of another, as well as Nate’s son,
Steve.
In time, they come to live with the Waodani and
through a series of events the spearing that was
destroying the tribe comes to an end. Steve wants
to learn which warrior killed his father. He leaves
the tribe as a boy with this question unanswered.
Steve returns as an adult when his aunt, Rachel
Saint, who had spent the rest of her life with the
Waodani, dies. The Waodani want Steve to live with
them the way Rachel did, but Steve’s unanswered
questions keep him from agreeing. Mincayani takes
Steve to the river where his father was killed and
confesses to spearing him. At that moment, Steve
and Mincayani are forced to confront the true meaning
of the life and death of Steve’s father and
the other men who were killed. |
