Emma Sandon explores documentaries produced by English and Scottish Christian missions in India in order to highlight similarities and differences in the definition of a ‘civilising mission’ adopted by these missions. While, for example, some focused on means of reaching salvation, others believed in the use of education to both bring about social development and instil Christian values. Sandon also discusses specific previously under-researched films in relation to these issues.
