‘Film-making is an agonizing struggle. It is in itself a quest for truths, for understanding.’ John Boorman.

″June 1982 John Boorman, director of Deliverance and Excalibur arrives in Los Angeles to raise finance for a film based on a newpaper account of a young American boy who was kidnapped by Brazilian Indian and whose father spent ten years searching for his lost child.

March 1985. The film, The Emerald Forest , is sneaking previewed to audiences in Dallas and San Diego. This Diary chronicles the three-year journey John Boorman undertook to make this film.

This quest took into the tangled, but fascinating, jungle of Hollywood (its studios, lawyers, financiers), involved him in the complex manoeuvrings that went on within England’s Goldcrest organization, and sent him on a journey through the rain forest and rivers of Brazil”. (Publisher).
