Product Details:
| Oscar nominated director John Boorman (Deliverance) brings us the true story of a father’s frantic search deep in the Brazilian rainforest for the son he lost years before. Starring Boorman’s son Charley (Long Way Down, Long Way Round with Ewan McGregor) EMERALD FOREST is a dramatic and action-packed tale of tenacity and undying hope set in one of the most breathtaking yet inhospitable regions in the world. Tommy Markham, the young son of an American engineer working on a dam project on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, is abducted and adopted by “the invisible people”. His father, Bill, spends the next ten years searching in vain for the kidnapped boy, never giving up hope that his son is alive. Ten years later, Bill’s hopes are realised when he finds his now-teenaged son, who has no recollection of life outside his jungle world. With sensitive, unpatronizing direction, Boorman tells this true-life Tarzan saga – any parent’s ultimate nightmare. |
