If you have not seen them, I highly recommend two movies that have brought me to genuine tears because they touched my heartstrings.
The first is The Saratov Approach about Mormon missionaries kidnapped 15 years ago in a true story which took place in 1998 in Saratov, Russia. The writer/producer is Garrett Batty from Draper. We met him at a Christmas open house at our missionary friend's home, Mike Ramsdell. He is author of Train to Potevka, a true bestseller through Costco. We found out that he has agreed to be screenwriter and producer of a movie based on that book. It should be very good and we look forward to seeing it when it is produced.
Today, we saw another movie portraying a true story of a four-year-old boy whose father is a Nebraska pastor. It portrays the family's very real reactions as they deal with the experiences of their son. It was very thought provoking as the believable story of the boy and what he observed are disclosed over time. It is wonderful to see the themes of belief, love, doubt and acceptance developed with real compassion and feeling.
