Christmas Jars (2019)
Perfect for bringing in the GIVING spirit and will definitely help #LightTheWorld with Kindness
Loved this film! It exemplifies the true meaning and spirit of Christmas!
If there were a modern corollary that brings a similar spirit to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, It Is the Christmas Jars.
This is a must-see for all your friends and family!
Once I Was a Beehive (2015)
Don't be fooled--this film may appear to be targeted for teens, but the content is great for everyone!
I really enjoyed this film. Sometimes (seemingly) overtly religious films pander to their audiences to make a buck at the box office. Especially if they appear to appeal to the "teenager" demographic. BEEHIVE is not one of these films.
BEEHIVE dispels many Mormon myths head on, and in the wake of this transformation leaves you both laughing and crying. I appreciated that very much.
But what I enjoyed most about this film is there was no "happily ever after." Not everyone was converted. Hardship still existed. All the story plots did not resolve into a nice, trite ending.
However, you knew that the characters changed--that they were better people for what they had experienced, and they were now better equipped to go through other challenges in life. They had the ability to live with uncertainty, keep a smile on their faces, and move forward. For me, that was the hidden redemptive power in this film, and that is one of the biggest reasons I highly recommend it!
Highway to Dhampus (2014)
Wonderful film with breathtaking views . . .
HIGHWAY TO DHAMPUS is a beautiful narrative about personal transformation. The characters come from a variety of backgrounds and their motivations are influenced by these backgrounds, but in the end redemption comes to each through choosing to be vulnerable, assimilating the past, and choosing to be better in the future. I found myself being introspective and understanding how I can be better based on what I experienced in those 100 minutes.
Set in Nepal, the cinematography is breathtaking and vibrant. It was so stunning at times I felt like the landscape was the hero of the scene.
I recommend this film!
