Based on the true story of three Christian prisoners who faced execution by firing squad in Indonesia just a few years ago (2015). Their joy in Christ stuns the entire prison camp. “They faced death. And chose life.”

My thoughts on the movie: The story that is the foundation for this film actually took place in the Kerobakan Prison in Indonesia in 2015. Kerobakan is a prison holding violent (as most prisons do) prisoners. In that aspect, the film seemed to be a much less violent place.
The story is one that all believers will appreciate - the salvation of souls, or the lost coming to know Jesus as Saviour. Powerful! The film's message is true to Biblical salvation. I love that they sang two of my favorite hymns - "Amazing Grace" and "I'd Rather Have Jesus" - in the film and they were beautiful!
The acting in some spots is pretty good, others not so good. The photography has some beautiful shots, and some basically average shots. The film's acuity visually and audio was very good.
I recommend this as a squeaky clean film that shows the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. The closing chapel scene is especially moving as is the walk to execution scene.
