The Mission a Rewarding Study of Young Mormons [High on Films]
Arun Kumar wrote at High on Films on Tania Anderson‘s documentary:
Shot in cinema verite style, the filmmaker mostly doesn’t intrude with her authorial gaze while intimately focusing on the young missionaries’ challenges abroad. Moreover, this is probably the closest a non-LDS film crew has reached to capture the LDS teenagers’ faith bubble, their everyday emotions, and prolonged psychological distress.

A revelation of the inner lives of young LDS missionaries, as they leave their homes for the first time and embark upon the most emotionally, physically and psychologically challenging period of their life.
