Traditional
Primary
The film's hagiographic portrayal of Mother Teresa explicitly champions traditional Christian values, individual faith, and religious charity as the primary solutions to suffering, aligning strongly with conservative ideology.
The movie features visible diversity in its cast due to its setting in India, but does not engage in explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative is expected to frame traditional identities and institutions neutrally or positively, consistent with a biographical portrayal of Mother Teresa's life and work.
Secondary
The film is a biographical drama centered on Mother Teresa, a Catholic nun, and portrays her deep faith, compassion, and selfless service as the driving force behind her life's mission. It affirms Christian virtues and the dignity of her faith-driven work.
While focusing on a Christian figure, the film depicts Mother Teresa's work among the poor in India, many of whom are Hindu. The narrative portrays her respectful interactions with the local population and their culture, emphasizing universal compassion and the shared humanity of those she served, without denigrating their faith.
Similar to Hinduism, the film portrays Muslim individuals among the poor and suffering whom Mother Teresa aids. The narrative emphasizes her universal charity, extending care to all regardless of their faith, thereby presenting Muslim adherents with respect and without negative stereotyping.
