Sono passati alcuni mesi dalla partenza, ma i quattro sembrano scomparsi.Il professor Harold Monroe, antropologo, viene allora incaricato di mettersi sulle tracce dei reporter.Le insidie sono a ogni angolo, tra belve feroci e indigeni dediti al cannibalismo.
The executives first introduce him to Alans work by showing an excerpt from his previous documentary, The Last Road to Hell. It stars Robert Kerman as Harold Monroe, an anthropologist from New York University who leads a rescue team into the Amazon rainforest to locate a crew of filmmakers. When the rescue team is only able to recover the crews lost cans of film, an American television station wishes to broadcast the footage as a sensationalized television special. Approximately half of the film consists of the documentary crews lost footage, the presentation of which innovated the found footage genre that was later popularized in American cinema by The Blair Witch Project. Noted for its realism, Cannibal Holocaust was filmed primarily on location in the Amazon rainforest of Colombia with indigenous tribes interacting with American and Italian actors. After its premiere in Italy, it was ordered to be seized by a local magistrate, and Deodato was arrested on obscenity charges. He was later charged with multiple counts of murder due to rumors that claimed several actors were killed on camera. Although Deodato was cleared of these charges, the film was banned in Italy, Australia, and several other countries due to its graphic content, including sexual assault and genuine violence toward animals. Although some nations have since revoked the ban, it is still upheld in several countries. In retrospective analyses, the films violence has been noted as commentary on ethics in journalism, exploitation of developing countries, and the nature of modern society versus uncivilized society, although these interpretations have also been met with criticism. The team consists of Alan Yates, the director; Faye Daniels, his girlfriend and script girl; and two cameramen, Jack Anders and Mark Tomaso. Harold Monroe, an anthropologist at New York University, agrees to lead a rescue mission in hopes of finding the missing filmmakers. In anticipation of his arrival, military personnel stationed in the rainforest conduct a raid on the local Yacumo tribe and take a young male hostage in order to negotiate with the natives. Monroe flies in via floatplane and is introduced to his guides, Chaco and his assistant, Miguel. They arrange the release of their hostage in exchange for being taken to the Yacumo village. Once there, the group is initially greeted with hostility and learns that the filmmakers caused great unrest among the people. The next day, Monroe and his guides head deeper into the rainforest to locate two warring cannibal tribes, the Yanomam and the Shamatari. They encounter a group of Shamatari warriors and follow them to a riverbank, where Monroes team saves a smaller group of Yanomam from death. The Yanomam invite the team back to their village in gratitude, but they are still suspicious of the foreigners. To gain their trust, Monroe bathes naked in a river, where he is joined by a group of Yanomam women. The women lead Monroe from the river to a shrine, where he discovers the skeletal remains of the filmmakers. Angered, he confronts the Yanomam in the village, during which time he plays music from a tape recorder. The intrigued natives agree to trade it for the filmmakers surviving reels of film.
