DVD Review - End Of The Spear (2006)
After his missionary father is killed by a spear at the hands of a Waodani tribesman, many years pass before the young man can bring himself to return to the same people and discover what really happened the day of the murder. Eventually, he finally learns the truth about what his missionary father was attempting to accomplish for the Waodani tribe.
The son works as a missionary, traveling to several countries to spread Christianity, just as his father had taught him to do. However, he often struggles with a rage of hatred brewing within over how his father was speared to death, when he was still a young boy.
The movie shows the time period when he lived with his father in Ecuador, isolated on the edge of the jungle of where the Waodani lived and hunted. The only way they could reach the outside world was with a short wave radio and his father's single prop airplane.
You also see the hunting, warlike brutal, lifestyle of the Waodani tribe, a culture that scared most native people away from treading on their territory. The Waodani are the last of their kind. Between the fighting among tribes, the jungle forest being cut down for farming, and natural causes, their numbers grew so low, that their entire history and culture were beginning to be at risk.
As a young boy, Allen's character would feel a feeling of foreboding every time his father would leave in his airplane to try to spot and contact the Waodani tribe. The young boy worked as an air traffic controller at home, to keep in touch with his father as long as the radio reception would receive the faraway signal. This proved extremely valuable later on in the story.
Now, as a grown man, Allen's character returns to the last surviving Waodani tribe, ready to do whatever is necessary, to fulfill his father's true intent. He must face the fierceness of the Waodani people and the rage within himself seeking revenge. The result is a life changing event for both the young man and the remaining population of the Waodani tribe.
Based on a true story, the movie exposes the threat of total elimination of the Waodani people and how several, young missionaries are trying to save them.
The End of the Spear is rated PG 13, for some intense sequences of violence.
