"All God's Children"
(70 minutes) is the first independent documentary to expose issues of child
abuse within the Protestant Evangelical missionary community.
Through the eyes of three families, "All God’s Children" tells the personal story
of the first boarding school for children of Christian missionaries to be investigated for abuse at the
hands of the parents’ missionary colleagues. In this documentary film, the survivors and parents share
their journey of seeking justice, redemption and healing, featuring
interviews with some of the founding members of MK SafetyNet.
While the parents were stationed in remote outposts throughout West Africa as
Christian missionaries, the children - starting at the age of 6 - were required to attend a missionary
boarding school in Mamou, Guinea, run by the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Cut off from their parents
and without any reliable means of communication, the children suffered extensive abuse at the hands of
the all-missionary staff.
It took the children decades to acknowledge the effects the abuses had on their
lives. When they finally dared to speak out, their Church denied all allegations and refused to help.
But the survivors continued their efforts for years until the Church finally held
an investigation and conceded that child abuse had occurred at the Mamou Alliance Academy. At last, the deep healing could begin.
