Secrets of the Tribe
Watch TrailerWhat happens when western anthropologists descend on the Amazon and make one of the last unacculturated tribes in existence, the Yanomami, the most exhaustively filmed and studied tribe on the planet? Despite their "do no harm" creed and scientific aims, the small army of anthropologists that has studied the Yanomami since the 1960s has wreaked havoc among the tribe – and sparked a war within the anthropology community itself.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director José Padilha constructs a damning chronological account, relying on archival footage and the conflicting testimonies of the anthropologists themselves. He explores the dark underbelly of scientific fervor, where the subject of study becomes collateral damage.
What lingers after viewing is a profound unease about the ethics of observation and the legacy of Western intervention. A necessary, unsettling critique. — MovieFinder Editorial
