Forgiveness and love in action.

I remember the shocking headline news when Graham Staines and his 2 young boys were so barbarically attacked. That anyone could hate other humans so much as to burn them alive, especially 2 young kids was unbelievable. We've since seen that barbarity repeated ad nauseum by Isis but it doesn't lessen the impact of this story, it is very well told. The way its seen through the eyes of an antagonistic journalist goes some way to helping us better understand the mentality behind the attack. So many moving scenes and at the heart of the story ordinary people who loved and served other people extraordinarily because of God's love for them. On a movie level the acting was very good and the Indian setting, scenery etc was brilliant. My one minor quibble is the accents. To an Australian they just didn't ring true. Stephen Baldwin didn't do too badly but Gladys and the boys were clearly American. A bit more time with a voice coach or use Australian actors??? But a very minor issue. , it's very much a movie that will inspire and encourage us all to live like Jesus and love all his children. Do go and see it.
