Kyson Dana recounts his journey from a devout Mormon childhood in Idaho to a traumatic mission in Russia, where he faced extreme poverty, violence, and hostility. He describes the intense pressure to proselytize despite dangers like being held at gunpoint and witnessing a murder, criticizing the church for sending missionaries unprepared and prioritizing its interests over their safety. The psychological manipulation, including rigid quotas and suppression of grief, led to severe mental health struggles, including suicidal thoughts and PTSD. Upon returning, he began deconstructing his faith after learning about church history and finding new perspectives, eventually leaving Mormonism. He now finds healing through filmmaking and sharing his story, emphasizing vulnerability and deep connection, and advocates for ending the missionary program.
