Title: Sensationalized, but with traces of accuracy
Review: Of course when Hollywood turns an anthropologist's treatise into a film, a few things are going to get tweaked here and there. This film is tweaked more than a little - but it's not bad, and a lot of the dialogue is lifted directly from Wade Davis' book. In the long run the book is more interesting - and probably harder to find since I suspect it's out of print - but the film's worth seeing, if only to learn that voodoo dolls are an American myth from the era of Manifest Destiny. END
