This imaginative movie captures your attention as it educates and makes you think! The Bible speaks of future persecution during the end times, and this story focuses on that with a government that is determined to rid the world of Christianity and its followers!
A young man named Alan has been protected by his dad Tim, mother Carrie and his entire family. And Alan hasn’t always understood their protective ways. To the teens at his school, he is a do-good dull person, who doesn’t drink or do drugs as some of them do. Alan resents his parents, but when tragedy strikes, his outlook changes. He slowly learns that his parents and others have been involved in protecting him because God has a plan to use him in a mighty way. And he also learns that God can do some amazing things when people follow Him.
Solid acting and the suspenseful story help propel this film forward to its surprising and hopeful end. One of its themes is religious freedom, certainly a timely topic in today’s world.
The movie portrays a bleak and dark future world, but if offers the hope that God gives in His word, not to mention the comfort His followers can give to one another. The film contains drinking and smoking and some mild violence so we are awarding it our Dove Seal for ages 12+.
