Reviewing Movies

From a Twenty-First Century perspective one could argue as to whether bringing Christianity to a primitive Amazonian Tribe did them any favours or was preferable to the slavery envisioned by the Conquistadors. Whatever your stand on the matter a group of Jesuit Missionaries make first contact with a primitive tribe and with their co-operation found a thriving self-sufficient colony. Unfortunately their efforts conflicted with the exploitation planned by the mercenaries and slavers who used their political influence to force the Pope to order that The Mission be disbanded. A Cardinal is dispatched to give these orders. This movie then is about the efforts of those peace loving missionaries to defend their colony. There can be only one outcome.
