  Review: Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy (English Version)
The Amerzone was a sort of "lost world" in which the native Indians for centuries had lived an idealistic existence, which had at its core their rituals and beliefs in providing assistance to the birth, life, and survival of the great white birds.
The "perfect" world of the Amerzone will be changed forever by three "invaders" who come there, each with their own agenda, and each with objectives that will have destructive effects on the culture, ecology, and very survival of this country.
The politician turned dictator, Antonio Alvarez, is a native of the Amerzone region, educated in France, who wants to use his power and influence to modernize the country, even though the consequences of his "march toward progress" will be the destruction of the idealistic lifestyle and beliefs of the native Indian peoples.
