Father Gabriel ascends the mountains of Brazil to bring Christianity to the natives. He is successful and brings about a golden age among them. Mendoza, a slave trader, kills his brother in a fit of rage and only Fr. Gabriel's guidance prevents his suicide. Gabriel brings Mendoza to work at his mission with the natives where, finding peace, Mendoza asks to become a priest. The church, under pressure, must cede the land to the Portuguese which will once again allow the slave trade in Brazil. Breaking his vows as a priest, Mendoza organizes the natives to resist against the advice of Fr. Gabriel.
Part of our special tribute honoring Maestro Ennio Morricone.
