Are some things unforgivable?
Why do we have to forgive?
Amish Grace is based on the powerful true story of the Pennsylvania Amish schoolhouse shooting. When the Amish community rises up to forgive and offer support to the confused and grieving shooter's wife, a grieving Amish mother, refuses to forgive. Her very faith and desire to remain in her community are tested.
As you are watching the story unfold, one can't help but ask the same questions as the grieving mother does. What I loved about this movie was that it showed that receiving forgiveness is just as hard as giving it. The shooter's wife struggled so much as she felt guilt at what her husband had done. This concept might seem foreign to some, but I can attest that guilt by association happens. The grieving mother didn't see just see a woman in pain, she saw the wife of the one who murdered her daughter.
Amish Grace is very well done. The acting is so believable that this could almost be seen as a live as it had happened events. Even though this is an movie that deals with such heavy and painful issues, it is one that could be watched over and over again. There might just be something that you missed the first time.
I have to offer a warning. Everyone I know who has watched this for the first time cries. Hard. If you don't like to cry over movies, don't worry none will notice you crying. They will be to busy crying as well.
A GREAT MOVIE!!!!!
