Description
Michael Rockefeller disappeared in New Guinea in 1961. Despite exhaustive searches, no trace of Rockefeller was ever found. Soon after his disappearance, rumors surfaced that he'd been killed and ceremonially eaten by a local tribe of warriors. The Dutch government and the Rockefeller family denied the story and Michael's death was officially ruled a drowning. Carl Hoffman traveled to the jungles of New Guinea to solve this decades-old mystery and illuminate a culture transformed by years of colonial rule.
