Sankarabharanam (1980)
Masterpiece
I have no words to describe this movie. I don't know why this movie did not get any Oscar award. Culture, maturity, character & Indian ethos, all blended into one is this movie. I was fortunate to watch this movie a lot of times.
The Least of These: The Graham Staines Story (2019)
Fiction presented as fact
I am from Orissa where Mr. Staines and family indulged in aggressive proselytization of poor tribals who traditionally worshipped the Hindu gods and nature. This was done using many ways including providing health care etc.; which is a general strategy of all the evangelists working in India. According to them the only god is the god they believe in and they need to spread the message of god and convert people into their faith. This resulted in altercations with the defenders of aboriginal faiths. Staines refused to stop his proselytization activities and the defenders wanted to stop this at any cost. It is a fact that the evangelists spent millions of dollars as incentives for people to convert to their faith. It could be as little as 100$ to as high as they deemed fit. The conversions changed the demography of the region. As a retaliation these crazy guys burnt the family to send a strong message. This is definitely not the way to send any sort of message.
Deviating from this murder, I hope the white christian rich also see the ill effects of their aggressive proselytization activities and make a film on the various unethical means like exploiting the poverty with inducements etc. and then converting them to their faith. The truth is bitter and shall never show the brutal effects of proselytization.
