Gory horror written and directed by Eli Roth. When a group of
American student activists travel deep into the Amazon rainforest,
the campaigners discover they are not entirely alone in their new
surroundings. With the aim of making a viral campaign against
people destroying the unique environment, the students stumble upon
a tribe of natives living in the rainforest after their plane
crashes in the jungle. But things take a turn for the worse when
they are captured by the dwindling native tribe, who later reveal
themselves to be cannibals. Captured by the very people they sought
to protect, the students find there's a high price to pay for the
attention they craved, even if it was in the name of a good cause.
'Every deep feeling a human is capable of will be shaken loose by
this short, but profound book' David Sedaris 'I wanted what we all
want: everything. We want a mate who feels like family and a lover
who is exotic, surprising. We want to be youthful adventurers and
middle-aged mothers. We want intimacy and autonomy, safety and
stimulation, reassurance and novelty, coziness and thrills. But we
can't have it all.' Ariel Levy picks you up and hurls you through
the story of how she lived believing that conventional rules no
longer applied - that marriage doesn't have to mean monogamy, that
aging doesn't have to mean infertility, that she could be 'the kind
of woman who is free to do whatever she chooses'. But all of her
assumptions about what she can control are undone after a string of
overwhelming losses. 'I thought I had harnessed the power of my own
strength and greed and love in a life that could contain it. But it
has exploded.' Levy's own story of resilience becomes an
unforgettable portrait of the shifting forces in our culture, of
what has changed - and what never can.
