    The Mission was released in 1986 by producers Fernando Ghia and David Puttnam assisted by director Roland Joffé. Some of the actors consisted of Robert De Niro as Rodrigo Mendoza, the main protagonist, and Jeremy Irons as Father Gabriel. The movie, as a whole, I enjoyed very much. The character development in the beginning caught my attention and didn’t leave me constantly drifting off as other films might have. In the movie, Jesuit missionaries are trying to protect a native tribe they had converted to Christianity from Portugal who wanted to enslave the natives for their own use. Rodrigo Mendoza had to go through trials before he accepted his position as a Jesuit priest after he was given the choice by Father Gabriel…

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once stated, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” King was referencing the injustice of racism not only in the United States but all around the world. His theory that being a racist to one group is hypocritical, and that being judgmental to some is being judgmental of all. Many minorities face the fact of stereotypes that hinder their ability to live as any other free American. The “American Dream” is often soiled for those who are a part of the minority race. Screenwriter Paul Haggis depicts these racial issues in the film Crash. Some writers and poets also testify to the injustices such as Robert Jensen, P. McIntosh, and Langston Hughes.
