An Misean sa tsín

THE CHINA MISSION is a featue length (85 minute) documentary looking at four decades of christian missionary activity in China. From 1920 to 1954, hundreds of Irish men and women served as Roman Catholic missionaries working in social, pastoral and disaster relief services at an extraordinarily turbulent but fascinating period of Chinese history. The film features rare film and photographic archive, much of it never seen before. All the film was sourced in High Definition - this unexpected collection of footage in B&W and colour includes film of Irish missionaries arriving in China in the 1920s.
