God Loves You. The darkest clouds often bring the heaviest showers of blessing. Unknown. What do you imagine a utopian society would look like (heaven)? How can God balance “fantastical wishes” with what seems to be His more down to earth reality?

What do you imagine a utopian society would look like (heaven)? • How can God balance “fantastical wishes” with what seems to be His more down to earth reality? • Why do humans act stupidly with regards to violence against each other? • If you were stranded somewhere, what 3 things would you absolutely “have” to have? • Have you ever done something right/good only to have someone else get the credit?

Journaling Describe the two societies being depicted (the bushmen and the “normal” one). Describe them in detail by comparison/contrast. Why do you think the director of the movie has given the power of the narrator’s voice to the bushmen society? Why would the director give the “sped-up action” sequences to the “regular” society?

Journaling Have you ever been a missionary somewhere primitive? What was it like? Would you ever consider being a missionary somewhere primitive? Where would it be? What would you do? For how long would you stay? How is the bushman’s view of good/evil different as compared with the “normal” society? Which do you find more appealing? Why?
As long as we think we can save ourselves by our own will power, we will only make the evil in us stronger than ever. Heini Arnold

Journaling The scientist tries hard to make a good impression but he fails pretty badly. Have you ever tried to do what was right and nothing seemed to work? What about the “suave” safari guide’s character? Have you ever met someone who was so rude and full of themselves? Describe. The bushman gets in trouble and locked away for a simple misunderstanding. But he can’t speak the language to explain his ways/culture. Why was it important that Jesus come to learn our language and culture?
Evangelization is a process of bringing the gospel to people where they are, not where you would like them to be. Vincent Donovan
Journaling How does the director handle the age old issue of brains vs brawn? What do you think the lesson is supposed to be here? How does Xi get rid of the “evil gift” from the gods? Why is this significant to the redemption of the tribe? How is this similar/different to the story of the Great Controversy? What was the most memorable part of the movie for you and why?
