In the next scene we see that his editor has assigned him to investigate the rumours about Graham.

As Manav was in crisis and he needed the money to support his family, he took up the task. He started following Graham daily and observing his day-to-day activities in the leprosy patients. As the day’s passes, Manav was diving more profound in the mission and from his observations, he began to question the accusations against Staines. While a specific committee was doubting on Graham’s intentions and his motive behind the help that he is offering, Manav’s believe have grown stronger on Graham’s selfless services and his love for the villagers.

Analysis
The Least of These are supported by strong characters and performers, but the story is a little complex, involving religious fights and tensions that is promoted in the village. The story has a perfect pace, which is not too slow or fast. The film also portrays the daily struggles of Staines which he faces at his work on treating leprosy patients. The film also may seem to have conflicts and disagreements because of the religious aspect in the village. Altogether, the script, the performance and the aesthetic off the movie absorbs all the negativity that may be delivered through the disagreements of religions. Â

Verdict
The film may seem like any other, with no other extraordinary storytelling style. Still, the plot can serve as an inspiration to the humanity, which has priority above all the religions.
