• Watch

  Fierce People

  This film draws parallels between primitive tribes in South America and New York's rich upper class. It shows how the seemingly civilized are just as, if not more, fierce than the spear wielding people of these undeveloped cultures. Captivating, beautiful and original.

  Starring Diane Lane (Unfaithful), Donald Sutherland (The Italian Job) and Kristen Stewart (Twilight).
