The Emerald Forest- Leading Role: Powers Boothe
societies in this film starring Powers Boothe as engineer Bill Markham. While
working on a dam on the Amazon in Brazil, Bill's son, Tommy (William Rodriquez),
disappears while wandering in the forest, presumably kidnapped by Indians. A decade
elapses, and the father continues to comb the jungle in search of the missing child,
while shepherding the dam to completion. During one such search, Bill is
wounded after a showdown with the Fierce People, an Indian tribe led by Jacareh (Claudio Moreno),
and is rescued by a blond Indian teenager he recognizes as his son (Charley Boorman).
But his joy is dimmed by the engineer's growing awareness that his son is now acculturated
to a life as part of his tribe, the Invisible People, and as the husband of his wife, Kachiri
(Dira Pass). For him, everything beyond the jungle is now "ghost land." During the absence of
the tribe's men, the Fierce People stage a raid on their village, kidnapping their young women,
including Kachiri, to sell as go-go dancers and prostitutes for the dam workers. A worthy and
intriguing attempt to dramatize the depredations of a supposedly civilized race on the Amazon r
ainforest, the film is well acted by all, including Boorman's son, Charley, and is graced by
Philippe Rousselot's magnificent photography of the Amazon jungle.Credits
