The Mission 1986.
A Spanish Jesuit travels to South America to build a mission with the intent of converting the natives. When Spain sells the the land to Portugal, they will have to defend what they have built.
This has it all from director Roland Joffé, brilliant acting from both Jeremy irons and Robert De Niro, one being the Jesuit and the other being a hunter who is slowly converted and the natives whom were real and kids with funny laughs. There is brilliant visual locations in and around the shoot with the Iguazú Waterfalls, Paraná River with a good haunting score by Ennio Morricone. It may not be for everyone but certainly worth taking a look at.
