CriticsCritics: 59
AudienceAudience: 7.6
In the South American wilderness, a missionary builds a community among an Indigenous tribe. A former slave hunter seeks redemption by joining the mission, but a political land transfer places the community in danger and forces its defenders to confront an approaching military threat.
You’ll like this if you enjoy thoughtful historical dramas about faith, redemption, colonial power, and moral courage; Not for you if you want fast action, light entertainment, or a straightforward adventure.
