Movie Description:
Worlds collide and tragedy strikes when missionaries dare to make contact with a fierce Amazon tribe. From a true story.
Worlds collide when missionaries from the U.S. make contact with a fierce Amazon tribe. Following a tragic loss and empowered by faith, several members of the families proceed to live among the tribe. In searching for answers about his father's death, one young boy will discover the power of forgiveness and redemption. From the incredible true story of the Waodani people, the five missionaries who gave their lives (Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, and Pete Fleming), and the family members who continued their mission (Elisabeth Elliot, Rachel Saint, Marj Saint, and Steve Saint).

Suggested Use:
This true story transfixed the nation when it happened, and it still provides powerful lessons today. For decades people have identified with the loss of these missionaries' families, but this film (and its companion Beyond the Gates of Splendor) brings to life their gains--inexplicable apart from the love of Christ.
Use End of the Spear in your youth group, small groups, entire church body or as a community outreach. It can be especially timely when scheduled with a missions conference or emphasis. Teens wrestling with questions about their futures will find an inspiring story of giving your life for the cause of Christ. Parents seeking positive family entertainment will find a film that instills much more than a me-first attitude. Seniors and older adults will remember when the missionaries were martyred and will want to hear the rest of the story.
