After reading some of the bad reviews on this movie, I can see why some think it's trash and not true. Honestly, the movie is not bad for Brazilian standards which is why I gave a generous 4 stars. It was nteresting to see how Macedo's life story would play out in the big screen. The setting and cinematography is decent in quality but I found it comedic that most of the character's who I knew personally portrayed in the movie, looked nothing like them in real life except for the actor playing Macedo who shows a good resemblance. I knew Macedo and his family personally from the early years of his church back in 1978. I was disappointed that my family was not mentioned in the movie because we sponsored them to begin his church mission in the U.S. in the early 80's and came to live with us in NY for a period of time. The movie ends with him and Ester in NY with no context of how they got there. If there's a sequel coming, it will be interesting to see how the plot turns out but don't expect a miracle LOL!!! The guy from his humble beginnings and life challenges, definitely dreamed of gaining power and fortune all in the name of the Gospel!
