Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I was spellbound as I watched this story unfold. A terrible tragedy that was national news headlines, was turned into an unbelievable triumph by the complete forgiveness of the wronged parties, and the power of God to truly transform the minds and hearts of everyone involved. After five missionary men were murdered by tribesmen in the rain forest of Ecuador, their wives and children went back to the tribe and lived with them. Strengthened by God and dependent upon His protection, they taught the people of this culture the power of forgiveness, love, and compassion. In the words of the tribesmen themselves, if the missionaries had not come to them, they would have continued to kill each other to the point of extinction.

This is a great documentary, about a great story everyone should hear. I first saw a shorter documentary about this story in 2001. I was in Ecuador on a mission trip. We did not go into the jungle, we were doing more urban missions in Quito and Calderon, but the missionary who we worked with does go into the jungle to the tribes. He showed us the shorter documentary. I have always thought highly of these people who gave there lives in the name of spreading God's Word, and their family members who risked their own lives, and turned the other cheek, and reached out to the killers. It never ceases to amaze me how violence and revenge totally controlled the Alca's society. This film is a great informational resource not only about what happened, but also as an insight to the people themselves. It gives a back story of the couples involved, and of the Alcas involved. If anyone is hesitant about following God's call, and leaving their comfort zone, this is a great story to inspire you, of people who truly served God with their all.

I went to see Steven Curtis Chapman in concert. I discovered there would be a film shown during the concert. This is not what I had envisioned, when going to a concert. "A movie"? "I didn't pay money for a movie, not tonight at least." The film which turned out to be Beyond The Gates Of Spldor, put me to tears. If you have ever had a tough time forgiving someone for an incident that happened in your past, please watch this movie.Steve Saint and Mincaye were there and walked on stage right after the film was shown, a standing ovation was given.Four years later I see the DVD for sale at a video store.I didn't even think twice about dropping $20.00 for this. It is a must have, and I am proud to own it.

**This critique contains spoilers**I saw this film two days ago, and was absolutely blown away! What an amazing story!! And the courage it must have taken for the wives of the murdered missionaries to befriend their husbands' attackers. And then, the fact that their children came to grow up with the same people, that takes some serious faith! I would definitely recommend this to anyone, Christians and non-Christians alike. It is a great story about overcoming the boundaries that separate people, and about learning to forgive others, no matter what they've done to you. *Tissue Alert*You might wanna bring some Kleenex* The story is very intense, and quite touching.
