  • "For ten years, engineer Bill Markham has searched tirelessly for his son, Tommy, who disappeared from the edge of the Brazillian rainforest. Miraculously, he finds the boy living among the reclusive Amazon tribe who adopted him. And that's when Bill's adventure truly begins. For his son is now a grown tribesman who moves skilfully through this beautiful-but-dangerous terrain, fearful only of those who would exploit it. And as Bill attempts to rescue him from the savagery of the untamed jungle, Tommy challenges Bill's ideas of true civilization, and his notions of who needs rescuing."
  • ""Tommy Markham, the young son of an American engineer working on a dam project on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, is abducted and adopted by "the invisible people". His father, Bill, spends the next ten years searching in vain for the kidnapped boy, never giving up hope that is son is alive. Ten years later, Bill's hopes are realised when he finds his now-teenaged son, who has no recollection of life outside his jungle world"--Container."
  • "Bill Markham, an engineer, returns to the Amazon year after year searching for his son who had disappeared into the jungle. After ten years of searching, Markham finds the man that had once been his boy, but now is a warrior from a different world. Based on a true story."
