This is Our Time is a remarkable movie. As the credits rolled down the screen, I just sat there, quiet and thoughtful. I remember the conquer the world, I can do anything elation of college graduation. This story portrayed a gamut of emotions and experiences young adults can face after the final exams are history. This is Our Time is so relevent, not only to young adults, but to older adults, too. There are many of us who feel like life has passed us by, or we should be changing the world. Instead, we're just doing our everyday thing. God has purpose for us, in us, and through us. I've reviewed many movies, but this one really stands out. It's not a feel good movie, it's a deep thought movie. I think it is well worth your time and attention.
I watched this with my family. If you're concerned about the leprosy, it is not shown during the movie. It is safe to watch with your family. There is a three minute video at the end that explains the ministry of Embrace a Village in India. It does show people with leprosy that could be disturbing to young children.
My family's thoughts:
"It is a wow faith movie, very spiritually intense. I really think everyone should watch it." ~ Amy, 11 years old
"It was very realistic, more like real life than a movie." ~ Michael, 13 years old
"Inspiring, I've never cried so much at a movie." ~ Emily, 15 years old
"It's not our time, it's His. It's not about what we do, it's about what He's called us to be." ~ Lowell, the papa.I was anxiously awaiting the release of this movie and it was well worth the wait. I found it to be wonderfully inspiring. In an age and time when we sometimes face such incredible losses in our lives, it is hard to stay on track with God's will for us. This movie showed in everything that we do there is a greater purpose. It was well written and acted. The message it conveyed was poignant in its speaking of God's will for us and also in talking about Embrace A Village.
Highly recommend this movie for its inspiration and its truth...

This DVD is about an actual place through Embrace a Village, a ministry to those with leprosy disease and their families in India. Embrace a Village, a Christian non-profit organization based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, exists to help transform the lives of leprosy victims and their families: Our mission is to bring Jesus Christ's message of hope and healing. To achieve our vision within each leprosy colony, we raise the standard of living for leprosy victims across India and help them to help themselves integrate back into mainstream Indian society through relief projects, education and spiritual ministries. Embrace a Village is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax deductible. You can learn more at embraceavillage.org. The story is fictional, but with a strong message of courage, love, and compassion. Ethan, Luke, Alé, Ryder and Catherine are five friends connected by their strong faith. After graduation, they each set out to make a difference in the world for God. Their ambitions are high, their passions are strong but will they have the courage to fulfill their calling regardless of what comes their way? The sacrifice they are asked to pay may just be too high. Through godly wisdom from an outside source, the group realizes that this is not their time after all, it's all His! Come along with these new graduates as they discover who they are to be, rather than what they are to do. This is God's time as we yield our lives to Him, and allow Him to do through us.
What I liked about this movie is the interaction between the characters facing hard things:
* separation after being together as they each begin their paths after graduation
* standing up for Truth in decision-making values
* the uncertainty of being accepted to grad school
* grieving loss
* being fired from a job to find the ultimate job by giving for the good of others
* being able to reveal and talk about true feelings
* building trust
The movie flows very fluidly without gaps, and is viewable by all ages. Color, 104 minutes.

What's to write. I bought this DVD upon someone's suggestion and some reviews I'd read.... I didn't think it was going to be too whiz-bang of a movie or very well made.But! Boy was I ever surprised. This is not only "well done"...it is cooked to perfection!! The whole thing is professionally made from every camera angle to every line given by any of the actors. Nothing here is week or mis-directed. Not only is it "Our time", it is about time such a fine tuned movie was put out by Christians!!I could see it over and over again. It was a wonderful movie. I will tell all to see this movie.
