This week on WDDD? Sarah shares the story of the unfortunate death of a young American man named John Chau.
John Chau, a Christian missionary, ventured to the remote North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean in November 2018.
His mission was to evangelize to the indigenous Sentinelese people, who were known to reject contact with the outside world. Chau felt that this remote island was likely, "Satan's last stronghold" and that God had chosen him to ensure they heard his word.
Chau's illegal and highly controversial visit led to his death when he was reportedly killed by members of the isolated tribe.
The incident sparked widespread debate over issues such as missionary work, indigenous rights, and the ethics of contact with uncontacted peoples.
Join us for this thrilling tale of misadventure.
