THE EMERALD FOREST (1985)
JOHN BOORMAN
Plot
The seven-year-old son of an American engineer, who is working in the Amazon rainforest on a dam project, is kidnapped by an Amerindian from an isolated tribe known as 'The Invisible People'. The father, convinced the kid is still alive, searches for years, but by the time the two meet, a decade later, the son is fully integrated by the locals and, inevitably, their meeting involves a culture clash. A visually stunning eco-drama.
