How it works. Sign Up. Call As disturbing as this perspective might be to the western mindset, one can easily recognize the fundamental questions that we all must answer: What is right, and what is wrong? Who am I, and what does the Man Maker want with me? This story tells of Steve Saint's return to the jungles of Ecuador after the death of his father Nate Saint.
While walking God's trail all over the world, Steve has spotted the Creator's hand at work in many significant life moments—from finding the love of his life to befriending the tribe that murdered his missionary father; from living in the Ecuadorian jungle to creating a major motion picture and presenting it before the United Nations. Sometimes triumphant, sometimes tragic, Steve's invariably thrilling tales are those of a born storyteller.
Author : Smithsonian Institution. Board of Regents Publisher: N. A Category: Discoveries in science Page: N. Pages: Excerpt: Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to bring the gospel to the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known by the pejorative Aucas a modification of awqa, the Quechua word for "enemies" , were an isolated tribe known for their violence, against both their own people and outsiders who entered their territory.
With the intention of being the first Christians to evangelize the previously uncontacted Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September , dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 3, , the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach," a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few kilometres from Huaorani settlements. When five young missionaries, among them Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, are speared to death by the Waorani in , a series of events unfold to change the lives of not only the slain missionaries' families, but also Mincayani and his people.
Dare to Make Contact. Adventure Biography Drama History. Rated PG for intense sequences of violence. Did you know Edit. Trivia During casting it was difficult to find a pilot in the Screen Actor's Guild qualified and willing to fly the Piper plane in the jungle. For the movie the plane ended up being piloted by the real life Steve Saint. Goofs As the bright yellow Piper is maneuvering over the jungle in the mids, we briefly see a view of the top of the plane, and there we see the one object that isn't yellow - the white Garmin GPS antenna.
Connections Followed by The Grandfathers User reviews Review. Top review. Finally an accurate depiction of how faith motivates. What Mel Gibson "risked" in bringing "The Passion of the Christ" to the screen, so did Mart Green to realize the story of "End of the Spear" - a truly inspiring must-see film that outlines the interaction of American missionaries with isolated people in the jungles of Ecuador in In an era when Americans - and particularly Evangelical Christians - are subject to stereotype and ridicule around the world, this movie has another perspective on what is in the hearts of those who follow Christ.
I sincerely hope that Mart Green and the rest of the team that worked to realize this true story on film, will receive acknowledgment for what they have accomplished. They certainly have my appreciation and respect. See this movie, and bring friends, particularly people who do not know this kind of faith in their lives.
This is a story of transformational love which will not be lost on anyone. Though some mainstream media critics and virulent anti-Christians will be especially harsh to a non-Hollywood financed motion picture that succeeds in getting its message across, please don't be discouraged by their cynicism. It is is true that this movie doesn't have some of the computer-generated nuances of a big budget film. And it is true that an acting performance or two among the cast is uneven.
And it is true that this movie would have benefited mightily from a script make-over and a big-budget editing team. But that is just the point - those very elements of the film-making support the raw, edgy nature of the setting and plot for the story.
My favorite reviewer comment comes from John Niccum of the Lawrence, Kansas Journal-World: "This generally engrossing Christian parable is the type of film that conservatives will over-praise and liberals will over-criticize.
And supports strongly the observation that a large number of the public wants many more of these kinds of films - and those that don't acknowledge the power of these stories.
So let them carp about imperialism and all else - it will only help draw the fair-minded into the theater for their own analysis.
