A sobering documentary examination of religious zealotry, colonialism, and cultural destruction through the tragic true story of a missionary's fatal encounter with an isolated indigenous people.

American Christian missionary John Chau was murdered when he tried to illegally contact and convert some of the world’s last uncontacted indigenous people. Through exclusive interviews and archival footage of John’s journey, THE MISSION explores themes that strike deep at the heart of religion, colonialism, and anthropology, questioning where we draw the line between faith and fanaticism, exploration and exploitation, imagination and destruction.
