About This Movie

YembiYembi: Unto The Nations is a rather unique documentary that really dives into the complexities of missionary work. It follows a San Diego family as they leave their comfortable life behind to engage with the Yembi people in Papua New Guinea. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to process the emotional weight of their journey. It captures the rawness of faith and the challenges of bridging vastly different cultures. While the director remains unknown, the film stands out because it doesn’t shy away from showing the practical realities and obstacles faced by those trying to connect spiritually with a people so different from themselves. It’s a fascinating study of how ordinary lives can be reshaped through a calling.
