We all know that the world is in trouble. It's such a big problem, in fact, that it would seem like we're up against an impossible task. But the good news is that there are plenty of people out there who want to help us flip things back around for the betterment of humankind and our planet. People like Michael Booth and Damian Aspinall — two British film-makers who wished to bring attention to the negative effects of deforestation on Peru, which led them to create The Green Inferno — a film about building bridges between people and tribes amidst a brutal dictatorship so as not to destroy both with ecocide. Over the course of their journey, Booth and Aspinall learn that the Amazon is home to many indigenous tribes, some of whom are very close-knit communities that have lived peacefully alongside each other for centuries. Although they know that the world is at its limit and that we need to take action now in order to save ourselves — or else we may lose it — they also know that there's no way for them to bring tribes together and work with them when they're in conflict. Therefore, they approach a tribe called Yanomami with the idea of building a bridge so as not to destroy everything in between. What follows is an uncompromising journey through the Amazon that leaves the viewer with no doubt about Booth and Aspinall's intentions to serve as protectors of both tribes and the world at large. They know their purpose in life, and they're not afraid to put everything they have on the line in order to create a better future for themselves and everyone around them. The Green Inferno is one of those films that will stay with you long after it has finished playing, but you'll also never forget why you were moved enough to see it in the first place. The film was met with mixed reviews among critics, but it currently holds an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
