The Laughing Alligator is a 1979 documentary that explores indigenous South American culture. Directed by an active participant in the narrative, it offers a unique perspective on the Yanomami tribe of Venezuela and challenges common anthropological views.
The Laughing Alligator is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with few prints circulating, making it a treasure for those interested in lesser-known documentaries. Its release history spans various formats, primarily on VHS, and it has been harder to find in recent years, leading to growing interest among collectors who value unique cultural perspectives. As more viewers seek out genuine, immersive experiences in documentary filmmaking, this film stands out for its authentic portrayal of the Yanomami and the filmmaker’s intimate connection to the culture.
