The Grandfathers, a motion-graphics film about the struggle and influence of a young man’s heritage, completes a trilogy produced by EthnoGraphic Media (EGM) that includes End of the Spear and followed by Beyond the Gates of Splendor. These first two films, also from award-winning director Jim Hanon and producer Mart Green trilogy tell the unforgettable and inspiring story of the killing of five missionaries by a stone-age tribe deep in the Amazon jungle. The impact of this tragic event lives on today in families of these slain men as well as among those responsible for their deaths.

The Grandfathers chronicles the personal quest for greater connectedness and significance. It is also a moving tribute to ordinary people living extraordinary lives in extreme situations. Hanon states, “Forgiveness is an awe-inspiring virtue that seems to have been passed on by the Saint family and is shared by many among the Waodani tribe—both demonstrate a profound capacity for forgiveness and healthy self-healing,”

This inspirational film has been awarded The Dove Foundation seal of approval.
