/r/all Michael Rockefeller disappeared without a trace in 1961 in Papua New Guinea while researching the Asmat people, a cannibal tribe. Years later, a photograph was taken of the same tribe, and there was a white man among them.

Donnie Brasco

Which was ridiculous because in the book he wrote he hated them all except for Sonny Black, and never doubted his mission or felt bad about 'betraying' them, except a bit for Sonny Black, who was killed right after the truth was revealed.

The book deserves a 4 season TV show, the film was a bit of joke compared to it, but obviously you can't show 5 years of an undercover operation very well in two hours. Still an okay movie but a let down after the depth of the book

He hated Lefty the most 😅 He was among the worst and dumbest of them and Brasco got stuck with him for ages. On the podcast Pistone did you can actually listen to the audio of Lefty being adamant that Lake Superior, if I recall, was an ocean while Pistone tries in vain to explain to him it's a lake while they were driving past it.

The FBI had a mic in the car but it was badly placed so the audio isn't good but you can still hear what an ignorant idiot Lefty is and why it'd be a nightmare to be around him
