RETURN
ADVENTURE
2019
Last fall, John Allen Chau traveled to a remote speck of sand
and jungle in the Indian Ocean, in an attempt to convert
one of the world’s last uncontacted tribes to Christianity.
The islanders killed him, and the 26-year-old American was
pilloried around the world as a deluded Christian supremacist
who deserved to die. ALEX PERRY pieces together the
life and death of a young adventurer driven to extremes by
unshakable faith.
