End of the Spear
Claire - 1/2/2007
Based on a true story, “End of the Spear” starts in 1956 in the Amazon basin in Ecuador. Five missionaries are savagely killed by a primitive tribe, just the beginning of the story. The missionaries’ wives and children take on the work of their fathers and husbands, and the audience joins in examining society’s reactions to violence and the possibility of forgiving the perpetrators of violence. The missionaries and their families display incredible human traits- courage in the face of danger; a willingness to sacrifice a normal life to help others; respect and tolerance to others. But most impressive of all, they retain their humility and do not look down on others. The cinematography and music are stunning. The Amazon jungle becomes the third character along with the tribe and the missionaries, and all three prevail in the quest to find forgiveness and redepmtion.
