End of the Spear~

End of the Spear is a 2006 docudrama film that recounts the story of Operation Auca, in which five American Christian missionaries attempted to evangelize the Huaorani (Waodani) people of the jungle of Ecuador. Taking a unique spin on actual events from the 1950s in which five male missionaries were speared by members of the Waodani tribe, the movie tells the story from the perspective of Steve Saint (the son of Nate Saint, one of the murdered missionaries), and Mincayani, one of the tribesmen who killed the missionaries. The two eventually form a bond that continues to this day.
"End of the Spear" is the story of the Indian Mincayani, part of the very violent Waodani tribe in the jungles of Ecuador. Motto of this strain is: kill the spear or you will be slain by the spear. One day in 1956 five missionaries slain by the Waodani. This appears to be turning point in their lives, such that at some point they will seek peace with the Indian tribes who once were their rivals. And cap it among their descendants in the inclusion of the slain missionary Nate Saint, whose son Steve, now grown to maturity, the Waodani is to visit to see how the final hours of his father expired.
