In the 1740's a group of Jesuit priests attempt to convert the tribes of Argentina into Christianity. Father Gabriel meets the Guaraní tribe who have already killed one priest and captivates them with a musical instrument they've never seen before. Sadly he also places them on a path that will mostly destroy them too
It's a powerful scene and a lovely juxtaposition of sound and vision. A piece of music made over familiar by its use in Aer Lingus ads is just glorious when heard over beautiful jungle scenery and awe struck faces.
A scene all about the universal power of music. A power that transcends culture and language. And done with a glorious piece of music from the mind of Ennio Morricone.
