Overview

Grace Forsythe, a determined and controversial reporter based in Hong Kong, is desperate to revive her suspended TV show. After seeing a provocative report on Amazonian native rituals, she pitches an ambitious plan to her bosses: journey into the dangerous depths of the Amazon jungle to capture footage of elusive cannibal tribes. Persuading a reluctant war correspondent, Bob Manson, and a professional camera crew to join her, Grace sets out with high hopes for sensational ratings. As the team navigates treacherous territory and the ethical quagmire of manufactured news, their quest for spectacle threatens to push them—and their subjects—beyond the edge. This is a brutal, confrontational slice of jungle horror with a sharp eye on media exploitation.
