‘Finland definitely changed our lives,’ one of the young people said of the experience shown in ‘The Mission.’
The four young people took part in a Q&A session over Zoom on Monday afternoon, after seeing the completed film for the first time. Director Tania Anderson and three members of her film crew joined the Zoom call from Helsinki. Paoule admitted that he hasn’t kept up on his Finnish since returning home seven months ago. “I have definitely forgotten a lot of stuff. Not many Finns out here you can speak with,” he said.
Davis said he was hit particularly hard by one moment in the film, where he said, “I’d rather physically die after the end of 7 1/2 months serving the people in Finland than live another 60 years.”
