Synopsis
The true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett, who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as “savages,” the determined Fawcett—supported by his devoted wife, son and aide-de-camp—returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.
