This story is legendary. I remember hearing about the deaths of Nate Saint, Jim Elliott and three other missionaries as a youth in my church. “Beyond the Gates of Splendor” is a gripping documentary masterfully written and directed by Jim Hanon. It chronicles the lives of these gallant men and how they became inspired to reach the unreachable in one of the most remote regions on earth. But this story goes beyond the tragic tale, and continues with the saga of the wives and children of the slain martyrs, who reached out to the very “savages” who killed their family members with the kind of unconditional love exemplified by Jesus himself. This moving story of Love Triumphant is told by the actual characters themselves and their family members. Forgiveness and reconciliation are depicted with clarity and with passion. The cinematography is breathtaking. The soundtrack, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, provides a perfect musical canvas for telling this rich, colorful story. “Beyond the Gates of Splendor” is a must-see for anyone seeking inspiration in real-life role models; however, please note that this documentary is most suitable for an audience over age 12.
