About this movie

As the social fabric of life in rural India disintegrates in the late 1990s, journalist Manav Banerjee (Sharman Joshi) moves with his pregnant wife to the State of Orissa in hope of a better life and the promise of a lucrative career. When speculation mounts that local Australian missionary Graham Staines (Stephen Baldwin) is illegally proselytizing leprosy patients, Manav agrees to investigate undercover for the newspaper. What he finds is a series of revelations that are difficult to fathom and even harder to explain, and Manav is forced to make a choice between his own ambition and the truth. In the end, his actions spark a tragic event that is felt around the world. Based on a true story and shot on location in India, "The Least of These" beautifully illustrates the power of love, hope and forgiveness to overcome hate.

Ratings and reviews

While the acting lacks somewhat the story (true) is inspiring and uplifting. Real people, real stories of neglected people who deserve a voice and representation. Worth watching!

A story worth telling, one that casts a light upon a selfless family and their unwavering willingness to love no matter the cost and the life-changing impact that this love has had.

Boring. Insipid acting. Seemed to have a "hidden agenda." Abandoned ship.
