Docu-Drama Focuses on Martyred Missionaries
In 1956 two worlds collided, beginning a journey beyond fear, beyond violence, beyond forgiveness. Now, Twentieth Century Fox goes beyond the big screen to bring a story of faith and forgiveness to the hearts of millions with its recent home video release of Beyond the Gates of Splendor.
Based on a true story inspired by Elisabeth Elliot's best-seller, Through Gates of Splendor, this award-winning documentary-drama highlights the lives of five North American missionaries -- Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Peter Fleming, Ed McCully and Roger Youderian -- who were brutally slain by the savage Waodani tribe in Ecuador. Vintage 16-mm films and still photographs combined with re-enactments and personal interviews of the surviving family members and Waodani tribesmen provide audiences with an authentic portrayal of a tragedy turned to triumph.
