When I was a student at LMU I learned about the film, The Mission, directed by Roland Joffe. Recently, I heard the music of "Gabriel's Oboe" and it reminded me of the movie. I found it online, ordered it and watched it again. There is a special feature documentary about working with the indigenous people during filming. At one point they talk to a local Jesuit who was facing his own modern day challenges. He referenced being in Central America and in particular Nicaragua. I sat upright at the sound of the name. I knew this movie was similar in nature to the story I am searching for but I didn't expect such a direct link. It was an in-your-face reminder of what my mission is. I'm glad I'm finding these little things around me to keep me on course. It is definitely an affirmation and I embrace it.
Powerful movie
