Mincayani is born into the most violent society ever documented by anthropologists, the Waodani in the eastern rainforest of Ecuador. As he grows he learns what every Waodani understands, he must spear and live or be speared and die. Mincayani's world changes when he and his family kill five missionaries. This incident propels Mincayani's family group down an extraordinary path that culminates in them not only departing from violence, but also caring for the enemy tribe they had once violently raided.

The Gospel is clearly presented, stated not in Christianese--or even English--but via the beautiful and unique terminology of the Waodani. That accomplishes two things. It helps allay criticism from skeptics who believe Jesus and movies should be mutually exclusive; and it demonstrates the complete relevance of God's universally applicable Good News. As Saint says, "It's free from a lot of the churchiness and expressions we use. They aren't as sophisticated, so it comes across as more palatable."

Amazing well told true story. There is no higher calling than giving your life so that someone else can be ready for the afterlife.

"The Waodanis await a film that humanely considers their conversion as intensely as this film single-mindedly sanctifies those who turned them away from killing." - Ed Gonzalez

Best movie of '06. Do this movie justice and see it in the theater. The landscapes and scenery are amazing, the (true) story is amazing, and it's one of those proverbial "feel good" movies. I freakin loved it.
