In the theatre of the Cold War, astronauts lost in the Darien are besieged by their deepest fears when surprised by an Indigenous person, did they think they were going to be decapitated, or eaten by a wild cannibal? A deconstruction of film and propaganda archives from tropical survival training challenges the colonial narrative inscribed in the conquest of space.
