The Mission

1986 Warner Brothers
125 minutes in length   Widescreen
Rated PG - Violence and Nudity

The film ‘The Mission’ is a powerful epic about a man of the sword (DeNiro)and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons) who help unite and convert a native South American tribe. To accomplish this the Jesuit priests establish a church mission in the harsh jungle forests of colonial Brazil, but later on they realize that much of their work may have been done in vain. Due to severe political and financial strategies from the 18th century European colonial authorities many of these missions were discontinued and the natives subjugated. This movie triumphs on two levels; intellectually as a clash between faith and greed, and emotionally as an action-filled clash of wills and cultures. ‘The Mission’ as an outstanding film was rewarded by winning the 1986 Cannes Film Festival’s Best Picture Award and also received nominations for seven Academy Awards.

This is excellent true story that is considered a 'must see'.
