Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2004)

This movie is a rare gem. It is a potent mix of faith, action, historical epic and alegory. It is a revelation of the power of humanity over politics and faith over cynicism. The acting, casting and narrative are as close to perfect as can be portrayed on celluliod.
If you have not seen this movie then hunt it out and watch it with friends. It is based on true events but takes the perspective of and is sympathetic to the men on the ground over the great politicians and self serving churchmen of the time. Looking at the events of the past few years in particular this movie offers hope in the role individuals can play in change for the better of mankind.
