Plot:
One day Michael, a U.S. journalist who works for a Brazilian newspaper, is put in charge of interviewing Father Louis Stephen, a famed Catholic missionary who helps the needy in the jungles of Brazil. He has one problem: the Father rarely gives interviews. However, Michael decides that he will be the first to interview the Father personally, and he journeys to the center of Brazil in search of the priest. Michael will soon know how hard it can be to get an interview, and that the Father's apparent media-shyness has deeper implications than he thought..
