Very well done. The subtitles are a little distracting, but they are necessary. Would recommend watching this one before seeing Beyond the Gates of Splendor. It helps to understand what's going on better in the Gates of Splendor. I enjoyed both of them. Makes you think about what you're doing with your own christianity.

I've given this DVD as a gift to a few people and have my own copy. It's well worth watching. Show it to your church youth group or adult small group and inspire them to seek God regarding missions.

It's amazing the sacrifices that were made by such dedicated christians & their families & then to see how the Lord worked through those sacrifices & love shown by the family members that were left behind.

This true story is absolutely awe-inspiring. I was in High School when this tragedy occurred and often wondered about the families of these brave missionary men who lost their lives by the people they were trying to save. This story tell you (as Paul Harvey would say) the rest of the story. It is miraculous!!

I loved this movie. The violence was hard to watch. Definatly not for young children. It was very inspirational and shows the true love of Christ. I plan to show this my movie to the class I teach on Handling loss and grief. It could not be better portrayed than in this movie. It surely follows the commands of Jesus to "Love not your lives even unto death".

Very good movie. I do not like subtitles, but in this movie I was captivated by the story, it went along well. It being based on actual events is a plus.

Amazing true story that we will watch over again. Beautifully done for film. We especially loved the ending in the credits. A real plus for the rest of the story.

This movie, to be honest with you, I did not care for at all. It was just too many sub titles, and I realize because of the nature of the movie, there had to be them, but too much of tribe killing each other, and not enough witnessing to the tribes. I guess maybe I am not expressing myself well but I did not want to see this movie more than once, however the part where the missionaries got killed was very sad and emotional.
