Jangada - Vildarna vid Dödens flod DVD

Jangada - The Savages of the River of Death

In the sequel to the mondo success Anaconda, explorer Rolf Blomberg ventures into the jungles of Brazil in search of the terrifying Xavante Indians.

The Brazil expedition departs from the port city of Belém at the mouth of the Amazon River and continues inland. In the ghost town of Manaus, in the middle of the jungle, they visit the strange opera house (whose creation is depicted in Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo).

On the Bananal River in Rio Araguaya, you meet the Carajá Indian tribe and experience their everyday life with bow hunting, fishing, and festive dance rituals. At Rio das Mortes in Mato Grosso, you win the friendship of the fearsome Xavante Indians. After a visit to the contrasting Rio de Janeiro, the expedition continues to the Atlantic coast and Portaleza, whose fishing population still uses a primitive fishing fleet, "jangada," for their long and perilous fishing trips at sea.
