This is like that thing where christian evangelicals in the us got obsessed with dropping pamphlets into Cuba, only somehow even dumber and more deranged. Like, at least many Cubans are actually Catholic, the fuck kind of revolution is going to happen because they got to watch a young Leo DiCaprio plow Kate Winslet in a car below deck of the Titanic, a ship that sank because of capitalist greed more than anything else.
Converting the people in a communist country by showing them a film where the poor people are locked below decks in a sinking ship and forced to die because there are only enough life boats for rich people (which they don't even fill properly).
On the other hand you look at how successful Christian missionaries managed to convert people in Africa. Yes you are right believe the story told by the white male about the old white male with a beard living in the sky that promises you'll live in heaven and eternity if only you follow exactly what this book written by the most racist institution on the planet ever, I don't even think there is any rational explanation how one squares being a third world Christian with colonialism and slavery and yet.
It is sad and unfortunate but also very obvious why it works, material conditions, indoctrination, history etc.
