While some may see this film as a blatant attempt to "Whiten the Savage", what it actually becomes is a very honest attempt to tell the story of the Christ couched in a cultural framework that is understandable to the people for whom it is intended. Unfortunately, the history of missions work by the Christian church is generally a tale of bloodshed and cultural misunderstandings. This film crosses the boundary of ethnicity with a timeless retelling of the Greatest Story Ever Told. I use this in outreach in NDN communities, and in multi-cultural settings, always with a favorable response. While it will definitely not appeal to those not wishing to view the message of the Meschiach, for those who follow the Creator, this film fulfills the Commission quite well.
