ABSTRACT
Peter Bratt is a director, screenwriter and producer who resides in San Francisco, California. His second film, La MISSION, is about a reformed inmate and recovering alcoholic named Che who has worked hard to redeem his life. Many Native spiritual leaders believe that the disharmony of the world is really an imbalance between masculine and feminine energy, or masculine and feminine principles. Those two forces really make the creation what it is – what makes it vital and alive. The two primary forces are what also makes us human, makes the plants grow, calls the rain and the sunshine. In that way, the film explores different issues of domestic violence perpetrated against women; it looks at homophobia and to some degree class and race because within a culture of domination, all those things are connected.
