Jagabongo - Eine schrecklich nette Urwaldfamilie (1998)
Der verwitwete Anthropologe James Krippendorf soll einen Vortrag über einen seit Jahren gesuchten Stamm halten, den er gefunden hat. Niemand ahnt, daß er diesen Stamm nie gefunden hat. James beschließt also zu lügen und erfindet die „Shelmikedmu“. Zusammen mit seinen drei Kindern dreht er Videos von diesem sagenumwobenen Stamm. Die akademischen Kollegen und die Presse sind begeistert von diesen Aufnahmen. Die ehrgeizige Wissenschaftlerin Veronica Micelli will unbedingt mit Krippendorf zusammenarbeiten. Krippendorf ist einverstanden. Doch Veronica weiß noch nicht, daß sie in dem neuen sensationellen Film über das Liebesleben der Shelmikedmu, die weibliche Hauptrolle spielen wird. Und dann ist da auch noch Ruth Allen, die beweisen will, daß Krippendorf lügt.
