Personally, I think the rescue crew was the best out of everyone (mainly the anthropology professor, who seemed to be the only non-native with any empathy).
The native tribe (who weren't necessarily cannibals, if I recall correctly; I think it was said that they only do it occasionally as a special ritual) were the good guys, in that they were brutally victimized by the camera crew savages and only retaliated as anyone understandably would.
But I'm not condoning the raping they did at the beginning. However, clearly their culture is different, and apparently it's a normal thing for them to bury babies and club the mom to death, so it's hard to really judge the morality of all of that stuff from such a different perspective.
Lastly, I think the original camera crew were the only savages in that rainforest. They brutally raped, tortured, and murdered the native people just for pure enjoyment. They saw them as subhuman, and they took sadistic pleasure in burning men, women, and children alive just for kicks.
Well, for monetary profit as well as kicks, because they were going to edit the film to make it look like the other tribe had done these things and these guys are just the beloved camera crew drawing attention to the horrors for the benefit of mankind.
The camera crew were absolute monsters, and I only wish that they'd been put through worse.
