End Of The Spear
Based on true events, END OF THE SPEAR tells the remarkable story of five American Christian missionaries who set out into the dense, uncharted rainforests of Ecuador in 1956. Their goal was to make peaceful contact with the Waodani, an isolated indigenous tribe known for their fierce culture of spear-killing and retaliation. However, a tragic series of misunderstandings and cultural miscommunications leads to the violent death of all five men, leaving their grieving wives and young children behind in an unfamiliar land. Instead of seeking revenge or retreating home, the widows and family members make the extraordinary choice to remain in Ecuador and continue the mission through radical love and forgiveness. As the young son of one of the slain missionaries grows up alongside the very tribesman who killed his father, a powerful bond develops between them. This incredible true account reveals how grace and reconciliation can break generations of violence and transform an entire community.
