“The Amy Carmichael Story” does a wonderful job showing just how remarkable this compassionate woman of faith was. Working in India as a missionary, she reaches many souls but God has more for her to do. When a girl named Preena is offered to the heathen temple, she eventually escapes and pleads for Amy’s help. She calls Amy “Amma,” meaning “mother.” Amy sees Preena’s sincere desire to serve God so she helps her, and further seeks to help set other children free from the temple. Due to her efforts it is eventually declared illegal for a child to be sent to the temple.

Amy’s sacrifice was reflected in her daily life and her words offered hope: “One can give without loving, but one cannot love without giving.” This inspiring story is presented our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages twelve plus. As a caution, there is one scene of a girl’s bloodied hands, punishment for fleeing the temple, and comments about the heathen god and curses. This impressive animated feature brings to life the story of an amazing woman.
