Leofwine_draca Review of Gold Through the Fire

Gold Through the Fire (1987)

Christian persecution in small town America

[4/10 · 28 June 2018]

GOLD THROUGH THE FIRE is another low budget Christian propaganda flick from America. The story is about a teenager who flees Communist Russia and ends up starting a new life in America. Unfortunately, his school work is interrupted by the extreme hostility towards his Christian beliefs displayed by fellow pupils and teachers alike; eventually he winds up in court as a result. I found the story of persecution rather overblown and laughable, while the do-gooding hero is a little bit too perfect to be in any way likeable.
