Synopsis: Tells the story of pioneer missionary William Carey from
England to India and the travails he and his family faced.
Review: The film shows its age, and while not particularly poor
quality for the time in which it was made it is unlikely any child will enjoy sitting
through it. However, for adults it is a formidable viewing which attempts to cast
Carey in a realistic light - which quite frankly is unflattering. For those who
are interested in William Carey or missions in general - this is a good film to
watch.
Released: 1988.
