The Mission

Television

This four-part documentary series follows three Nigerian Catholic priests, sent to save Tasmania’s struggling Catholic church in the face of dwindling congregations and an, at times, resistant local clergy. It’s a mission that almost proves too hard a cross to bear. Shot in Tasmania and Nigeria, The Mission became one of the highest rating Compass Series for the ABC.
