‘The Distant Boat’ is a movie like no other. Apart from the local phenomenal actors, remarkable aesthetics and locally enriched sound tracks, it has quite a unique attribute. It is not just a movie to sit back and enjoy; in addition to this, its main purpose is to take the church back to the drawing board-the church’s role in The Great Commission.
