Chez les mangeurs d’hommes

André-Paul Antoine and Robert Lugeon lead a six-month expedition to meet the local tribes. Despite initial expectations of encountering cannibalism, the team finds a peaceful and hospitable community. However, tensions arise when a man from an enemy tribe attempts to abduct women, prompting the village chief to call a Council of Elders to deliberate on a response.

The film's authenticity has been a point of contention among ethnologists, who have questioned its representation of the events and cultures depicted. This debate adds a layer of complexity to the viewing experience, inviting audiences to consider the relationship between reality and portrayal in documentary work. As a physical media collector, acquiring this film allows for a deeper exploration of these themes and the narrative choices made in its presentation.
