Spoiler

Roland Joffé directs this historical drama starring Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. The film chronicles the conflict between slave traders and Jesuits during the colonisation of South America by Spain and Portugal. In 1750 Jesuit priest Father Gabriel (Irons) arrives in the Amazon to build a mission station for the Guarani Indians. He comes into conflict with slave trader Rodrigo Mendoza (De Niro), who kills or captures many of the tribe but escapes punishment due to the fact that he is an aristocrat. However, it transpires that even Mendoza has a conscience when he comes to Gabriel asking for penance.
