A really enjoyable movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2014)

A Jesuit travels to the Americas to set up a mission and convert indigenous people to Christianity. Here he faces the savagery of the Slave Trade controlled by the Spanish Empire and Portuguese Empire seeking moderation by the Catholic Church.
Jeremy Irons portrays a deeply holy man, Liam Neeson portrays a fellow Jesuit and De Niro portraying a Slave Trader turned spiritual man, together they inform the Cardinal of the horrible, cruel slavers while having him visit the home of the indigenous people who have constructed a church in the heart of the rainforest.
This deeply moving film was interesting, thought provoking and true history. The music throughout is a combination of spiritual, choir and Native America music, a joy to listen to. Considering how it featured a fairly small cast and primarily focused on location and personalities. It was a great movie.
