Beyond the Gates of Splendor
2002, English. Directed by Jim Hanon.
In 1956, two worlds collided, beginning a journey beyond fear, beyond violence, beyond forgiveness.
"Beyond the Gates" is a feature length documentary film experience about the Waodani Indians and the missionary men and women who have given their lives to reach them. This powerful emotional journey begins with the Waodani describing their way of life before the missionaries visited them in 1956. Narrated by the son of one of the missionaries and each of the wives of the men who died, the audience takes a nostalgic trip back in time to see how the men and women came to meet up with each other in Ecuador. An inspiring story of forgiveness and love.
