Re: [UUPoly-L] POLY movies



I think the one you are looking for is the 1975 movie, "Sandstone"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158182/

Most poly themed films are fiction, but there are two films about the Canela Indians of Brazil who practice a kind of polyamory. I have just seen the "Intimate Truths" film, and it spends a good part of the film describing the multi partner extramarital sexual relationships that are part of the Canela's culture.

Films on the polyamorous tribe of Brazilian Indians:

Intimate Truths of the Canela by Steven Schecter

INTIMATE TRUTHS OF THE CANELA INDIANS OF BRAZIL, an ethnographic film featuring the work of anthropologist Bill Crocker, curator emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution, debuted on the Discovery Channel on October 17. The film was co-produced by the Human Studies Film Archives and Schecter Films. The film and an accompanying study guide will be distributed by Films for the Humanities and Social Sciences (http://www.films.com) under the title Mending Ways: The Canela Indians of Brazil. Crocker's research is also featured in an online exhibit, Canela Body Adornment (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/naa/canela/canela1.htm).

No, none are the one I am seeking, this one came out in the last 2 or 3
years.  However, thank you so much for the suggestions, I will check them
out.  Still, I will keep searching for the one I briefly summarized in my
original email.  Thanks again..
