"I have this movie taped from HBO since it was aired in 1987. It is one of my favorite movies. It is beautifully shot in the amazon, the sounds of the jungle add a lot to it also. I really like the story line it has great characters. You really do not see movies made like this except once in 10 years it seems...."

This movie is similar to other jungle cinema and plots where young boys are exposed to rare births or conditions in which they are raised. They include Bomba of Brazil, Tarzan of Africa and Tarzan's adopted son Boy in Africa. In many these children are also a cultural enigma related to fantasy of gods, creatures and religion (Moses,Jesus, Allah) or monsters of rivers as in this movie, a large snake or a shape changing siren.
