At Play in the Fields of the Lord


1991 drama directed by Hector Babenco and starring Tom Berenger, Tom Waites, Aiden Quinn, John Lithgow, and Daryl Hannah.
A long film, seemingly too long after a while, but still powerful. Pilot and buddy become involved with two sets of missionaries in the South American rain forest. All involved affect the lives of an innocent tribe - not necessarily for the better.
Has a lot to say about religion, clash of cultures, and the big question - why are we here?
Worth viewing.
