DOCUMENTARY - In 1955, artist, author, and anthropologist Tobias Schneebaum fulfilled a life-long dream by visiting the jungles of Peru. Seven months later, the New York native returned with remarkable tales of living with a tribe of cannibals, watching their murderous raids on other tribes, and even eating human flesh with them. In 1999, Schneebaum returned to Peru at the age of 78 with a camera crew in tow in hopes of finding the cannibals he lived with many years before. The documentary KEEP THE RIVER ON YOUR RIGHT: A MODERN CANNIBAL TALE (2000, 93 min) by David Shapiro and Laurie Gwen is a moving portrait of an astounding life.
