This movie was good.
It is interesting to see the events dramatized. However, I think most people would appreciate the documentary version of the story even more.
Check out Beyond the Gates of Splendor (www.beyondthegatesthemovie.com and www.imdb.com/title/tt0337868). In this documentary film you will hear Mincaya, Kimo, Dayuma, Steve Saint, Jesse Saint, the wives of the missionaries, and others tell their story first-hand.
The actors in End of the Spear did a good job. But seeing and hearing the real life people tell their own story is more powerful than seeing it acted out on screen.
Better yet, watch both versions.
