The Emerald Forest (1985)
Where is the truth behind Emerald Forest?
The 1985 movie “The Emerald Forest” was advertised as being based on a true story. But I have never been able to find anything about the story behind the movie. Anyone know of a site that has facts about the real people and events that inspired the movie?
I have tried Google searches on names in the movie and such sites as IMDB. But all I can find are synopsis of the movie. Nothing about the factual events it’s supposed to be based on.
Based on an uncredited true story about a Peruvian whose son disappeared in the jungles of Brazil
“uncredited”
this may be as close as i get…
however there is a book that may have the clues you seek in the footnotes or credits…
