Wonderful documentary
khairulmustapha31 December 2020
The context of love is pure, love make you stronger, love gives away loves is good. And the power of faith of God make you stronger yes it is no matter you're christians, muslims or other religions. It's the same. Religions breeds peace.

Very Revealing Documentary
colton_slayallday13 January 2023
Let's be honest, going into this documentary, I didn't have high expectations as I'm not a person who typically enjoys documentaries. But this one blew my expectations. I'd heard about what happened in Burma and Iraq but this documentary put a view on those issues that I never thought I could see. It's brilliant how much first person real-life footage was put into this film. I would definitely recommend this docu to anyone looking to see a first person account of what happened in those places.

Note: this docu has a very Christian point-of-view and much of the dialogue talks about David Eubank's relationship with God.

The best movie ever made probably. Everyone must see!!!!
dandan-dandan29 March 2020
This movie leaves me in shock and amazement. It cannot be described. The way they documented it is the most realistic experience you can ever have of a real war situation and everything is happening in front of you, with real life people in deep need, and Eubank can be seen trying to make life and death decisions by relying on God's grace and deliverance in the real face of evil and destruction. After watching this you probably would not want to watch another Hollywood movie again. Such power, heart, love and truth in this entire documentary. The cruelty of war will make you confront what life is, how evil this world is and how God's teaching to love our neighbor is worth fighting for - yet only made possible by a truly faihtful and obedient heart towards the God of Love. Jesus Christ is written all over this movie. He is the Lord over all evil. No matter how hard, if you trust Him and follow Him, He will make you to do some of the best work in the world for humanity. This movie should win all the awards out there. It is the most beautiful and honest and eye-opening movei I have ever seen.

When all you have is faith to get you through impossible situations.
rolandholloway5 March 2020
An amazing story of faith, love and humanity over coming evil in an insane situation. I'll need to watch this a few more times to really appreciate what is going on. The Eubank family shows us what it means and looks like to live the talk and walk the talk.

Excellent movie About Compassion
janisjs7-183-84412018 November 2021
This movie was an eye opener for me as it showed scenes that so many of us are ignorant of--the tragedy of war. But there was a man and his family who made a difference, along with all the others who helped, showing love and compassion where there was only war and suffering. Every part of this documentary is heart touching and motivates one to do more to help others in need, and pray for those who are trying to make the world a better place.

My favorite movie
eric-076457 September 2021
It seems odd to list what is technically a documentary as my favorite movie ever. But it is. I've watched it a number of times, and shown it to many other people. I've found they always need time to "process" it at the end, as it makes a deep impact. As a real-life documentary (no re-enactments) it presents reality in a way that is irrefutable (save for abject head-in-the-sand denialism), and that can be hard for some people to accept. For everyone else, there is a lot to learn and be inspired by in this work.

Great documentary ...but
121mcv19 December 2020
He and his brothers in arms are selfless people, that is for sure, however, he talks like he has a relationship with God which is palpable almost like a prophet I find that a little condescending. We all knew he prays to Jesus with in the first 15 mins, he didn't have to make it 90% of his dialogue.

Religious propaganda.
krusty-2322 November 2020
Like others I fell for the high rating but it was nothing more than religious propaganda, so much so that I did not watch it all. Just how many times can you refer to the miracles of god. For those that believe in faith it is meaningful but for me it was just so far into this that I found it just too full on. Some great footage but not my thing.

I don't think my life will be ever quite the same. . .
lachlanwarrell18 July 2020
This documentary has to be one of the most powerful examples of what it means to truly love that I have ever seen. Anyone can watch this and be profoundly changed. If you are deciding whether or not to watch it and pay the $20 it currently costs, I can almost certainly guarantee if you paid less you would desire to give $20 after. I say to you friend, this is so much more profound than you can imagine. And brilliantly done as well

Great Insight
mirielle_canovas13 January 2023
This is a great movie about love and how nothing is impossible. They maybe talk about themselves a little too much and I would have liked to see a little more about the civilians caught in the war's lives. Other than that it is an amazing move and brings great insight into what is happening in other countries; even if there are bad times and evil, good will always overcome it. Some parts of the movie are not totally realistic; like where are they getting all the supplies and how is their power, so I would have liked if they went a little bit more in-depth overall. I recommend watching it if you are into that.

Lame and lousy
karagoz-emre25 June 2021
The trailer promised it would look into the lives of people during wars, how brutal isis was, how the people suffered... But this is just them praising themselves, not a lot of humility going on here.

Americans suck with maps and geography, and mostly history too. They showed Sinjar as Mosul on Iraq map, lamest thing ever, at 41:43.

Simply Incredible!
gipsonbeth19 April 2020
Like many Americans, I was completely detached and quite unaware of the horrific suffering experienced around the world. This is a must see. No news story or article can reveal the experience of war casualties and refugees like this. May the work of these selfless families and volunteers continue!

When all hope is lost
VanBooter5 December 2020
When all hope is lost you can either look to others for help, re-assess the situation, or pray to some fictitious person and start quoting from a book written by man and re-written by man many times since. This was looking to be an excellent documentary which was sadly ruined for me when if started spouting the god stuff so much so it seemed like all the atrocities in Burma and Iraq had been pushed to the side to make a pathway for the christian faith vehicle.

Incredible - Can You Choose Love and Compassion at all Costs?
jordan-31428 February 2021
This is an incredible movie that touches on many parts of the human experience and the events in our world in a graphic way - it is a must see that will leave you with a sense of hope and possibility.

The work of the Free Burma Rangers needs to be recognized globally, as do the realities of the conflicts in the regions where they operate. The love and faith between the FMR, the people they help, the family at its core is unbelievable. Love, compassion, forgiveness, and service to others seems so foreign compared to the self absorbed, nihilism of every day where people's beliefs and opinions aren't shaped by experience or with opened mindedness and understanding but through the echo chamber of touch screen devices.
