Trivia
When the tribe was asked permission to film their story, they said no. Only after hearing about the school shootings happening in the US did they grant permission for their story to be told. They hoped their turn from violence to peace could be an example for others.

Quotes
Elisabeth Elliot Gren: We were both Greek Majors. We saw each other every day. Every once in a while he would come along and he'd just slap his books down on the table and he'd sit down next to me and he'd say, "Well, where we were today?" And I said, "Well, What do you mean, 'Where are we?' You know I'm on this page and you're six pages behind or something."

Alternate versions
A 40-minute abridged version of the film exists.

wonderful Christian movie for the whole family!

i love this movie. great for the whole family. very moving and it gets you thinking about whats really important in life. please watch. I would recommend. And its a true story!!! Its about 5 missionaires who were killed and it shows such compassion and true love between people of all parts of the world. Its inspiring and its amazing how missing missionaries are not even reported anymore and back then it was such a big deal. I think people forget what this country was founded upon. I really didn't think this was going to be any good, but once I started watching it i couldn't stop. Such a wonderful story of some very brave and wonderful missionaries. This is funny,romantic, sad, suspenseful. please watch!
