Summary: Touching!
Review: A great film about Christianity and Orphans in China, and how we as Christians must preservere in the presence of evil; and that Christians of all races must work together toward a better world.

Regardless of the fact that this film lacks the visual quality of a major release, it still has an amazing story line. The movie will keep you in suspence, and offers great Christian value.

One issue I had with the movie was its hyper-patriotism, painting America as perfect and heaven-like; a place where everyone is equal; this I found idealistic and misleading.

Summary: Granted, it's a fictional story...
Review: While the acting and direction are good, the production is not. This movie looks like it was shot with a home video camera (although the soundtrack was OK). Worst is the script. My 8 year old loved it, but it got only scorn from those over 11 in my house. Implausible even if it did reflect reality in China, which it does not. There is a real danger that because it so blatantly mis-represents the reality of orphans, Christians, and the Chinese government, that some will conclude that the well-documented persecution of Christians is also a fairy tale. I cringe to think there are people who might believe this movie represents reality. (...)
