“Hiding Victoria” is a very dramatic movie about forgiveness. When a young woman is ordered to clean up her “act” by a judge, she shows a cold disrespectful attitude to the judge and everyone she comes in contact with even the parole officer that is trying so hard to help her. But when Victoria goes to an interview for a job as a companion for Althea, the older woman sees something that no one else can see.

Sometimes when we look at people we are distracted by their outward appearance but never really see the struggles that brought them to this point in their lives. Althea and Victoria both have something in their past that has hurt them to the core, even Victoria’s parole officer has a secret. But with time also comes a healing process that starts with forgiveness. This is the one thing that Althea can help Victoria learn how to do.

It is a story of how people sometimes get caught up in a terrible situation and think there is not way out, so they turn to a life of drugs, alcohol, and the ways of the streets to survive. But what they have the hardest time doing is forgiving not only of others but themselves as well. God forgives us of our sins but we are harder on ourselves then He is.

This film contains some harsh content but carries a message of hope and forgiveness. We are pleased to award “Hiding Victoria” our Dove “Faith-Based” Seal with
