aside from the consistent message of mills' lyrics, which include unity in diversity (tattva), spiritual devotion (govinda) and global peace (great hosanna), it is rarely noted that mills' father, the late roy boulting, was one of the first british filmmakers to use cinema against fascism. the boulting brothers' 1939 film "pastor hall", a moving account of a german preacher who refuses to kowtow to the nazis, was so groundbreaking that the british government delayed its release because it was not yet ready to be openly critical of the third reich.
