The Lost City of Z
The easiest way to find a lost tribe in the Amazon is to clear-cut the entire rainforest.
Sadly, the explorers in this drama forgot to bring some lumberjacks with them.
After returning home to England with ancient artifacts obtained on his latest expedition to the jungle to prove the existence of an advanced civilization, renowned explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) becomes a laughingstock.
Not until after WWI does Fawcett find funding through the Rockefellers and is able to return to the wilderness with his son (Tom Holland) to find the lost city of Zed. Neither father nor son returned to Nina Fawcett (Sienna Miller).
The haunting tale of Fawcett's real life disappearance that still remains unsolved, this artfully shot biography is an engaging adventure saga that is hindered by poor editing, a prolonged narrative and a weak lead.
Incidentally, if lost tribes wanted Englishmen to find them then they would build pubs.
