Where the River Runs Black (1986)

In a mystical world of the Amazon, where the river's current takes on a blackened hue, we journey through the tale of Father O'Reilly, a seasoned priest, who narrates the enthralling story of Father Mahoney, the enchanting Eagle Woman, and their son Lazaro. Father Mahoney, a trailblazing priest, dares to explore the upstream regions of the Amazon, where he meets the captivating Eagle Woman, a creature of magic, able to transform from an aquatic dolphin to a human. Years later, the echoes of a gruesome murder by gold-obsessed interlopers shatter the innocence of their child, Lazaro. Under the protective wing of Father O'Reilly, Lazaro is ushered from the jungle's sanctuary to the city's harsh reality, where he encounters the murderer, now a powerful politician. Driven by a thirst for vengeance, Lazaro embarks on a perilous path, leading him back into the wild labyrinth of the Amazon jungle. In this treacherous journey, the mystical dolphins may be his only beacon of hope in the enveloping darkness.
