If you grew up Evangelical Christian as I did, you likely knew the name of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot before you knew the name of the President. The story of the five missionaries who died, and their wives and children bringing the Gospel to the very tribe that murdered them was told and retold through out my childhood.
End of the Spear tells that story from the point of view of the tribesmen themselves. It's the latest in a series of independent movies marketed to the growing number of us tired of the "Brokeback Mountain" and " Hostel" garbage coming from Hollyweird. End of the Spear is playing on 1200 screens beginning 1/20/05.
