Description: This investigation into the little - known genre of mission - oriented films uncovers how Protestant missionaries overseas sought to bring back motion picture footage from remote parts of the world. In the broader religious community mission films aimed to educate congregants back home about efforts to evangelize communities around the world. This book however demonstrates the larger impact of mission films on American visual culture. The evolution and development of the genre is highlighted from an early emphasis on "foreign views" in the 1910s to interwar films providing a more detailed look at how mission stations functioned in far - flung lands to Cold War productions which at times functioned as veritable propaganda tools parroting anti - communist discourse emanating from the CI a.
