Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Grace PThis movie is beautifully filmed and incredibly moving. It stands as a real-life witness to the truth that change is possible and that a WILLINGNESS to examine one's cultural practices in the light of what is good and loving is the key to this change. It would be a shame to view the film with the idea that the Kara people are simply uncivilized and in need of "westernizing". Every culture has traditions that need transformation. It is easy to identify ethical flaws in OTHER people, but this film invites us to look at our own traditions to ask "what is of God and what must be relinquished?" I can't say enough in praise of this film, its initiator Lale, and a God whose longing to bless bursts forth towards the humble hearts that risk much to experimentally approach a radical shift in thinking and behaving. Lale fills the role of prophet in a most invitational way. His love for his people does NOT overlook their faults. Instead, his great love for the Kara people desires their good-- the removal of a hurtful belief and accompanying practice. His approach is thoroughly Christlike; he is loving, sacrificial, encouraging, inviting. I can honestly say that viewing this film was a landmark moment in my life.
