An homage to the controversial Ruggero Deodato classic ‘Cannibal Holocaust’, the film follows a group of student activists that travel from New York City to the Amazon to save a dying tribe but crash in the jungle and are taken hostage by the very natives they protected.
Currently in post-production, the film was shot in an Amazonian village with no contact to the outside world. As a result the natives were unaware that film or television even existed, and in order to solidify permission to shoot, Roth and the producers would use generators to show the Amazonian’s Cannibal Holocaust (1980). Thinking it was a comedy, the natives loved the film and all of them agreed to the filming as well as portraying cannibals in the upcoming release.
