We watched this movie the other day as a family, checked out from our Public Library.
There were quite a few places where Joel was upset and hid ... the beheading was unexpected.
Not that you SAW it, but Joel knew what happened.
And he also did NOT like the war scenes where the planes shot up the village or soldiers burned and pillaged at the onset of WWII.
But ....
the girls were mesmerized. Even Tim got hooked.
It is set just before WWII - a young lady is denied becoming a missionary because she does not have the right credintials.
So she plans to go without a mission board and gets help from unexpected places.
The story is amazing, from her first days experiencing China, to her adopting children that were unwanted.
And then as the war starts, she rescues 100 children, marched them over a big mountain in November, where the mission board was waiting for the children if they could arrive in time.
We think it was at least as inspiring as Sound of Music.
And it is based on a true story.
