Welcome to tribal warfare in the academic jungle. The field of anthropology is placed under the magnifying glass in this fiery investigation of the seminal research on Yanomami Indians. In the 1960's and 70's, a steady stream of anthropologists filed into the Amazon Basin to observe this "virgin" society untouched by modern life. Thirty years later, this thrilling but provocative documentary uncovers how the infiltration became a scandal, both for the Yanomami society and for the reputation of anthropology as a serious scientific discipline. ktk
