“Eric Liddell: Champion of Conviction” is a documentary from which everyone can glean something! It is inspiring because it reveals a man who stood for his convictions, wouldn’t run on Sundays, and yet captured a gold medal in the 1924 Olympics in Paris in Scotland’s first gold medal win. It is educational because it shares stories of Liddell’s life in China and Scotland and the work he did in other places. It is thought-provoking because it shares the love other people had for Eric, how he reached out to them and was friendly to everyone.
This documentary features Eric Liddell’s biography mixed with world events, and it gives a clear picture of a man who was dedicated to God. It includes an interview with his eldest daughter, Patricia Russell, as well as with camp internee Joyce Stranks, who knew Eric. We are pleased to award this film our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages. Watch it and let it inspire you!
