Ephraim’s Rescue

Director: T.C. Christensen

Starring: Darin Southam

I was lucky enough to see an early screening of this movie.  I loved it.  The story is beautiful and moving.  I really enjoyed how the story would jump from Ephraim’s life to that of the saints in England, and when they start coming across the plains.  I was a great way to get to know all of them equally.  I was moved to tears many times in the movie.  Especially at the end while reading the bios of the real life characters.  Darin Southam did a great job of portraying Ephraim.  I loved how we were able to get to know him and saw what his life was like before he was sent to rescue the handcart company.  I also really liked Thomas Dobson.  He did not want to be there, crossing the plains, and I enjoyed his journey, too.  They all suffered many hard ships.  Near the end, he learns a great lesson of faith.  Be warned to have plenty of kleenex nearby when viewing this great movie.
