It implies that the son was killed too but goes on to state The two eventually form a bond that continues to this day. speaking of the son and Mincayani. I saw the film, the son is still alive.

thread_title:  Opening Paragraphs 

message: I saw on the blog website of longtime Christian singer Steve Camp a link where the movie was referred to as "End of the Spin", criticizing an unclear Gospel message and Chad Allen controversies.
How does this movie have an unclear message? The message of salvation, forgiveness. They are not savages, but people who are lost and confused, like the entire world, including us. --66.218.17.240
The real life event preaches the message of salvation. This movie mealy points to forgiveness. While part of Christianity, it is not the main thing which is stands for, that of repentance of a sinful nature and turn towards god, for the forgiveness of sins, and the the new creation ideal.
I think the controversy stems from this fact. 5 men gave up their lives to share this with these people.
Is it not a disservice to their sacrifice to present a watered down movie about them with out a clear presentation of the need for salvation, and the means of it.
Anyone can forgive, but these men and wives of them had more reason for forgiving then for the sake of forgiving. While many Christians see this in the movie because they know about it, an uneducated population should be educated as to the true motives --phalcon 04:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:The-end-of-the-spear-poster.jpg

message: The yellow aircraft used in the film was a restored Piper PA-14 Family Cruiser.  The original aircraft flown by Nate Saint when he and his companions met their fate in 1956 was also a Model PA-14, serial No. 14-166, FAA registration number N5156H. The frame of the wrecked original, discovered in 1994, was eventually recovered and is on display at Mission Aviation Fellowship headquarters in Nampa, Idaho. —QuicksilverT @ 01:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production note 

message: " five American Christian missionaries attempted to evangelize the Huaorani (Waodani) people of the jungle of Ecuador. Based on actual events from 1956 in which five male missionaries were speared by members of the Waodani tribe, the movie tells the story from the perspective of Steve Saint (the son of Nate Saint, one of the murdered missionaries), and Mincayani, one of the tribesmen who killed the missionaries. The two eventually form a bond that continues to this day."
if that doesn't include an inline reference it has to be removed according to WP:IRS FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:55, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
