Movie Reviews of Beyond the Next MountainMovie Review: Deep, Rich Well Told Story Summary: 5 Stars
I know nothing of who actually produced this video, but it is very well done. The true story of Rochunga Pudaite (and the Welsh missionary Watkin Roberts) is alone deep and compelling . . . a young man is saved during the Welsh revivals of the early 1900s and travels alone to the highlands of India to evangelize a nation of headhunters with little outside contact . . . . after living among them and seeing several saved he is expelled by the British authorities, never to return . . . the converts evangelize their own people and many churches are planted, all without a Bible or missionary or outside contact. One of these early church leaders sends his young child (Rochunga) out "Beyond the Next Mountain" to learn English with a view to translate the Bible into their language, one which had never been written. The movie follows the travels of Rochunga from 10 years old through the 2nd World War as a scout/messenger for the British and a triving trade in the black market, to his return to his original purpose, University training in original biblical language so he can begin his linguistic translation work. There are several unexpected twists and turns . . . deeply moving.
The story is great . . . but the production is also excellent, well crafted . . . creative and unpredictable enough to keep your attention very well. Telling tales that flip between (supposed) foreign and English speakers is difficult and is well executed.
Highly recommended for all ages.
