The Grisly Fate of a Missionary: A Must-See Film's True Story
The story of John Allen Chau, an American evangelical Christian missionary who was killed by the North Sentinelese, one of the last remaining "uncontacted" tribes in the world, has been turned into a film called "The Mission." Chau believed he was on a mission from God to convert the island's inhabitants, but the tribe aggressively defends their remote island and killed him on his second approach. The film explores the complexities of faith, anthropology, and the allure of remoteness. It also sheds light on the history of the Andaman Islands and the controversial practice of missionary work among isolated communities.
