The documentary "Beyond the Gates of Splendor" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337868/ is quite good. You can stream it from Netflix. Although I'm not religious, I must admit it demonstrates the value of the Christian ideal of forgiveness. The movie has lots of old footage, including his father's inventive method of delivering supplies from his airplane to the natives via a tethered bucket

Yes, this story is amazing. He came to speak at my university with some of the members of the tribe, one of whom was in LOVE with flying. He couldn't speak English, read, etc. but he was apparently a pretty good pilot. By the way, this same guy was one of those in the group that killed his father. Amazing stuff.
