Synopsis:

 

A beautifully crafted documentary about five young missionaries who were martyred by a savage tribe of Indians in the mid 1950s and the heroic effort of reconciliation that has followed.

 

The Freak's Rating: C : This is an amazing story of faith and a true testament to Christian missionaries and their devotion to their cause.  You will find yourself wondering if you could do what their families did after what happened.  The message of this film is a solid A, worthy of all the praise in the world. 

 

Sadly however, critics are misleading the public by rating this as an excellent documentary.  Cameras jumping around and some inconsistencies within the storytelling rank it as truly middle of the road.  There is a book out there that tells the story, and I'd stick with that.
