Summary:

Subject: Profiles Gospel Recordings, a group of evangelical missionaries who make audio recordings (often in endangered languages) of Bible stories and distribute them along with low-tech playback equipment in communities with limited access to electricity and media. "Filmed in the Solomon Islands, India, Mexico, and the U.S.A., the Tailenders explores how the media devices and messages introduced by the missionaries play a role in larger socioeconomic transformations, such as the move away from subsistence economies toward cash economies based on agricultural and industrial labor."--container.
