"Black Robe"
1991
Directed by Bruce Beresford

1634 began the French colonization of Canada through Catholic missions. Black Robe tells the story of an extraordinary priest who braved the North American wilderness and extreme cultural difference to carry his message from Europe. An important indictment of the Church's refusal to assimilate other cultures, and the tragic corruption of Native American societies by the West. From the director of Driving Miss Daisy and Breaker Morant.  101 minutes.
