Rescued

Great for family! I have watched 10 times!

Very inspirational and touching.The statistical data on children needing a home is astounding! (and undoubtedly growing monthly). Quite an impactful documentary

This DVD provides an excellent overview of biblical teaching regarding adoption and how Christians should and can be engaged in this ministry. The real-life stories and experiences add a compelling human dimension. We plan on using this as a resource to help others understand God's command to care for the orphan.

Based on the description I really, really wanted to like this movie. But as hard as I tried, I just couldn't. Too much of the one-on-one female conversation was even more shallow than what I would expect from coed BYU freshmen. In addition to shallow characters, the script was just unbelievable at times and the direction was sorely acting. In a few scenes each of the three central characters really shine, but the interaction between the two primary characters just defies belief at times. By the end of the movie I was doubting those characters could convincingly order a fast food meal. Thankfully I rented the movie through a subscription service. Had I paid for this movie, I would have regretted the waste of money.

Excellent movie for the Church, who needs to step up in this area. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is the script, which talks about rescuing the adopted children "for salvation" -- with the children sitting right there. *I* understand what the adults mean, but can you imagine the children listening? Major mistake, screenwriters. Nevertheless, the message here for the listening adults is powerful and cannot be ignored. These children need GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. The kind of love only His spiritually healthy children can give to His orphaned little ones. As for adopting children from the US -- if you adopt from the foster sytem, it is almost FREE. As for adopting internationally, my friends adopted 3 from China in under 3 years using grants and fundraisers alone! The adoption community is huge!! And those who have gone before you are excited to help! Start with Reece's Rainbow on FB. If they aren't the area you are looking for, they'll point you in the right one!!

Very interesting and informative. It does seem like may of the rescued children came from overseas. Why doesn't our country make it easier for people to adopt children who need a loving family right here in the USA? Why does it cost so much money to adopt a child in the first place? Many families would love to have a child, but can not come up with the huge amount of money to do so.

I am a woman who was adopted at a very young age. I have 2 siblings and 2 wonderful parents, a very happy family / story. This movie made me so sad. To see adoption framed as tool for "spiritual warfare" was so gross to me. I was very disturbed by the way the children of color and children with disabilities are talked about in this movie. I think I could write so much on this documentary even the title "Rescued", as an adopted child my self makes me sick to my stomach. I fear sometimes the christian adoption movement’s rush to do good, forgetting the complexities that adopted children (particularly international and interracial adoptions) are faced with. Not a good film about adoption at best, racist at worst.

Was kinda Poorly scripted; But the Actors are Good- alot of Dialoge - Sitting, walking and Talking, Some of the acting was really Good

Seems to be more about God than Orphans, not one I will be watching again.
