If you can get passed the insane amount of (fake) violence to real people and (real) violence to real animals, the movie is actually quite good.
The basic structure is like the Blair Witch Project (though this movie was made in 1980). A film crew making a documentry about "The Green Inferno," a patch of forests in South America inhabited by cannibalistic tribes, disappears. A professor goes down there, finds a tribe of cannibals, befriends them, and retrieves the footage. The professor brings the footage back and review it becuase he's asked to present it on a TV show.
The footage is basically the film crew harrasing the tribes: burning their villages, killing their food, torturing the tribal people, rape, etc. In the end, the tribe has enough and fights back, killing and butchering every last member of the crew.
It's interesting because it doesn't show any clear bias toward the cannibals or the "civilized" people. In the end, it's actually a sort of justice what happens to the film crew.
I would recommend this movie, if you can find it that is.
