He wanted the basis of Cannibal Holocaust to be an indictment of the media whom focused on portraying violence with little regard for journalistic integrity and believed that journalists staged certain news angles in order to obtain more sensational footage given their coverage of the Red Brigade terrorist organization.
He was also heavily influenced by the creator of the "Shockumentary" Gualtiero Jacopetti who made several movies showcasing how ugly and violent the world really is.
Now The Green Inferno is an homage to that style of film( let's admit it, Roth is kinda a one trick pony with films), even Steven King loved it because it reminded him of the shock horror films he watched at the drive in growing up.
