Where was The Mission filmed?

1986 film directed by Roland Joffé

The Mission (1986) was shot in Brazil — and that is the whole of what Wikidata records. No street, no building, no studio: the statement names a country or a state and stops there.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Fort Amherst United Kingdom

  “Fort Amherst was one of the filming locations for the 1986 Warner Bros. film The Mission and the 2011 film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows as well as the 2015 BBC TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime.” Wikipedia

Why there is no pin

A dot in the middle of Brazil would claim something nobody wrote, so this atlas leaves the statement as a sentence. The detail exists in the world — someone stood somewhere with a camera — it has simply never been written down as data. If you know where, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.
