Documentary The Mission explores how John Chau, a young American evangelical, journeyed to North Sentinel Island and ended up shot full of arrows
Christian with a taste for outdoor adventure, he undertook a one-man mission in 2018 to North Sentinel Island, an extremely remote and unreached part ofThe Missionperspective, and even from a less reckless missionary perspective, such quests represent the height of hubris and arrogance and that unreached peoples generally don’t want to be reached, even if your cosmology determines that they’re going to hell unless you “save” them.
The film sifts through all of this with clear eyes, imagination, and a lack of overt judgment. McBaine and Moss immerse you in Chau’s thinking, using his diary and the reminiscences of friends and teachers to flesh out a young man who seems like a pretty decent, soulful guy that pushed himself way too far and defined himself as an instrument of The Lord.
The most poignant counterweight is provided by the words of John’s father, Patrick, from a letter written to the filmmakers . Patrick emerges as sad and disappointed with himself for not preventing his son’s tragic folly. We also hear from some wise heads, including historian Adam Goodheart, who wrote his own North Sentinel chronicle; and linguist Daniel Everett, whose work among the Pirahã people of the Amazon rainforest helped transform his own Christian faith into atheism.
