So what happens when the ethics and the methods of a anthropological scientist come into question? A bunch of academics slinging barbs at each other and trying to destroy each others' careers and it makes for a fascinating documentary. The field of anthropology made some great discoveries in the 60's and 70's when they came upon the tribe of Yanomami Indians in the Amazon; a tribe that had been untouched by civilization. From there various anthropologists spent time with the tribes and published all kinds of seminal papers and textbooks. Years later there came accusations of impropriety, including rape, paedophilia, and prostitution, calling into question all of the data gathered from the tribe, but also the anthropological community as a whole! It's essentially a talking heads documentary, but with a damn interesting subject matter. Highly Recommended!
