At the film's core is a courageous pastor, a man of God on a mission to help a mother reunite with the child she was forced to leave behind, and a family of five - including small children and an elderly grandmother - embarking on a treacherous journey into the hostile mountains of China.
Leaving their homeland is fraught with unimaginable danger, yet these individuals are driven to take the risk.
Gripping, thrilling, and never more timely, Madeleine Gavin's award-winning film embeds the viewer with these family members as they attempt their perilous escape, palpably conveying life-or-death stakes.
The result is a singular, heart-pounding, and unforgettable experience.
