FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CENTURY CITY, Calif. - Debuting on DVD June 13 from Fox Home Entertainment, End Of The Spear takes viewers deep into the heart of darkness to discover that humanity and hope can transcend the boundaries of civilization as well as the senseless acts of violence that stand in the way of cultural understanding. In 1956, a small band of missionaries sought to enlighten the primitive cannibal tribes of darkest Ecuador... and for their compassion, they were mercilessly slain. Years later, the wives of the fallen men returned to the village to continue their husbands' missionary work, bringing their children to live amongst the tribesmen in the hope that through their forgiveness the natives might find faith. Based on Elisabeth Elliot's international best-seller, Through The Gates Of Splendor, the unforgettable true story was also explored in the award-winning* documentary Beyond The Gates Of Splendor, released on DVD in 2005 from Fox Home Entertainment. Grossing more than $11 million during its national theatrical run, the End Of The Spear DVD will be available for a suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S./$43.98 Canada. Prebook is May 17, 2006.
*2004 Palm Beach International Film Festival Audience Award
Heartland Film Festival Crystal Heart Award

Synopsis:
End Of The Spear is the remarkable journey of a savage Amazon tribesman who becomes family to the son of a North American man he kills.

Through a suspenseful series of events Steve Saint (Chase Ellison) is able to visit Mincayani's tribe. Steve tries to learn which warriors killed his father, but has to leave with his question unanswered. Steve returns to the Waodani as an adult (Chad Allen).
