Synopsis:
This documentary was made in the Brazilian village of Karaja where the director Sam Fuller planned to shoot his film Tigrero. The film was never made because film studios thought that the location was too dangerous for certain film stars such as John Wayne and Ava Gardner. Forty years later Fuller returns to the village with Jim Jarmusch and Mika Kaurismäki in order to tell the story about himself, his film and people from the village.
