A massage therapist (
Diane Lane) dreams of leaving New York City and joining her son's father, a renowned anthropologist, who is studying a primitive South American tribe called Yanomamo or "Fierce People." But her perfect world is shattered once she is attacked.
I really enjoyed this movie even though it takes a horrible turn 2/3's of the way through. I wish there had been more with respect to the relationship with the mother/son relationship. Good acting...what i would call a sleeper. Worth seeing...
this is not what happened at all!! The son was to go meet his father but got busted for buying dope for his mom. She took him to the country for the summer but HE was attacked. Very poor previewing here :(
