Movie Reviews of Warriors of the Amazon
Movie Review: DVD-R Not worth it
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a very interesting program but it is recorded on a DVD-R. The picture is only marginally better than the old VHS copy I had. Its just not worth 19.99 for a DVD-R as opposed to a newly made DVD.
Summary of Warriors of the Amazon
Travel with NOVA to remote reaches of the Amazon rainforest to visit the Yanomami, an endangered tribe whose culture is built on fierce rivalries and communal harmony.Family drama unfolds against the background of everyday life. Watch as two Yanomami villages attempt to reconcile past differences by sharing in a great feast. A young woman who has been living in a rival village will now see her family for the first time in ten years. Meet Yanomami shamans who use hallucinogenic drugs to commune with the spirit world, practice magic to combat modern disease, and oversee the preparation of the ashes of the dead for consumption by their loved ones whose bodies act as a living tomb. Celebration and tragedy are both a part of this dramatic portrayal of a people on the brink of extinction.
