John Groberg is a middle class farm teen from Idaho
Falls. Soon after high school graduation, he crosses the
Pacific to become a Mormon missionary in the Tongan island kingdom during the
50’s. Left behind are his loving
family and the true love of his life, Jean. The letters between John and Jean over the three years keep each other going
during his absence. His spirits are raised by her letters, he shares his adventures with the area, language barrier, community and physical
hardships.
This is good, John almost dies after a severe storm wipes out their food supplies until a ship can make a delivery. A very exotic landscape but difficult living environment. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
113 min, Adventure directed by Mitch Davis with Christopher
Gorham, Anne Hathaway, Joe Foley, Nathaniel Lees, Miriama Smith, Alvin
Fitisemanu.
Note: Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 6.3 out of 10,
29% critic 71% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
