Secrets of the Tribe is a film by director José Padilha premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize.[1] This documentary critically examines the motivations and methods of anthropologists studying the Yanomami. It features interviews with Yanomami, as well as with scientists who have studied them. One anthropologist featured in the film said the film showed that "the social responsibility associated with working with human subjects – especially the unique vulnerabilities of indigenous peoples – and the ease in which such responsibilities can be and have been ignored, discarded, abused." [2] Some scientists accused of misdeeds in this film are among others James Neel, Napoleon Chagnon, Kenneth Good and Jacques Lizot.
