Movie Review: Story of a Young Muslim Who Converts to Christianity
Summary: 5 Stars
In this movie, a Muslim, Samir, from an unnamed Islamic country attends university in Chicago. While there, he come into contact with some Christian students, and from the testimony of their life, he converts to Christianity. When he returns to his country, he has to face all the Islamic consequences for Muslims who become Christians (or any other religion). Samir's father, rather than kill him, disowns him; however, his uncles are out to kidnap him for forced 'reconversion' to Islam; if he then refuses, the plan to kill him.
At the same time, a Christian pastor in his country is imprisoned and it is a foregone conclusion that his trial will result in his martyrdom. Other Christians in the country, through smuggling means with a Frenchman, are bringing Bibles and taking developments of the pastor's situation out for news sources in the West. Samir, with no place to stay and no money finds the secret Christian group, and after a period of mistrust of him (thinking he is a secret police spy), let him join the group. With his life in grave danger, Samir also sees the great need of the Christians in his country, so, when it comes time for him to return to Chicago, he has a difficult decision to make.
This movie may be distributed by the Christiano Film Group, but it is produced by Open Doors, International, and is far, far above the quality of the Christiano produced movies. Not only is it a much more professional quality, it doesn't beat you over the head with "Christianity" like the Christiano movies do. In this movie, the drama is paramount; it lets the Christian message come through simply by the example of the lives of the Christian characters. Indeed, it also shows a Muslim cousin of Samir risking his life to help his cousin.
If you are looking for a movie that will cause you to tense up from the danger to the main character, one that shows the risks of Christians in an Islamic country, and one that subtly gets its Christian message across without offending, then you will really like this movie. In my opinion, this movie is as good or better than the best of the Billy Graham organization's movies.
