END OF THE SPEAR
Fifty years ago, Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, and the three other American missionaries dared to make contact with the most violent society ever documented by anthropologists. This week END OF THE SPEAR, the story of their martyrdoms, hits the theaters, and the film makers hope contact will be made with another violent and spiritually blind society -- our own. It is a story that should be told in this age of ethnic cleansings, gulags, holocausts, genocide, and riots.
When the film's director, Jim Hanon, traveled to Ecuador to get permission from the Waodani (formerly Auca) Indians to make the movie, the tribe initially refused. But when Steve Saint, Ned Saint's son, told them stories about situations like the Columbine shootings, the Waodani were electrified. "If this story will help your culture not live so violently," they said, "then we [want you to] tell our story."
