The Mission
Film follows four American teens as they embark on one of the most religiously significant, ideologically challenging, and culturally unifying experiences in their Mormon community: their mission to mostly atheist Finland. The film explores the varying ways in which their work shapes how they view themselves, the world, and their theology. Steadfast in its commitment to their perspectives, this film reveals the individuals behind the suits and name tags that have come to signify the work of Mormon missionaries globally.
