Beyond the Gates of Splendor

Beyond the Gates of Splendor also Beyond the Gates is a featurelength documentary film that was released in 2004. It chronicles the events leading up to and following Operation Auca, an attempt to contact the Huaorani tribe of Ecuador in which five American missionaries were killed. The film was produced by Bearing Fruit Productions and distributed by Every Tribe Entertainment.

Beyond the Gates was very influential in the production of the drama film End of the Spear, which was released four years later. Many of the same events recounted by the Huaorani interviewees in Beyond the Gates were depicted dramatically in End of the Spear.The film was shot on location in Ecuador, Ocala, Florida, Seattle, Washington, and at Wheaton College. There were also interviews from all five widows two years before both Marilou McCully and Marj Saint died, members of the search party and members of the Huaorani tribe. ........
