[Review] — "THE HIDING PLACE" is a Global Cinema Event — {Giveaway}

Only tonight, August 3, and Saturday, August 5, at select theaters in the United States and Canada, is THE HIDING PLACE, the true story of Corrie Ten Boom. This stunning cinematic performance was adapted for the stage by A. S. Peterson, directed for the stage by Matt Logan, and filmed for cinema audiences in Nashville, Tennessee! 

The film stars stage veteran Nan Gurley as Corrie Ten Boom, Carrie Tillis (daughter of country music legend Mel Tillis and sister of Pam Tillis) as Betsie Ten Boom, and Conrad John Schuck as Casper Ten Boom.

THE HIDING PLACE is ideal for homeschooling families and groups because it combines World War II history with Ten Boom's remarkable faith. It's a story of faith, hope, love, and forgiveness in the face of unthinkable evil. Families will love watching this powerful film together and being inspired by Corrie’s faith and courage.

Corrie Ten Boom and her family risk everything to hide hundreds of Jewish refugees in the Netherlands, but once discovered, they must deal with the repercussions. World War II. Darkness has descended upon Europe, and the Third Reich's boots echo through the streets. However, some people in the Netherlands decide to resist on a quiet city corner. Corrie Ten Boom and her family risked their lives to hide hundreds of Jewish immigrants, and later they paid the price when the Third Reich found them. Their tale—one of faith, hope, love, and forgiveness in the face of unimaginable evil—is told in THE HIDING PLACE.

Buy tickets today to see THE HIDING PLACE only in theaters on August 3rd & 5th! The film will be released internationally on August 16th. Get tickets at thehidingplacefilm.com/.

My Review

I remember seeing a paperback of THE HIDING PLACE by Corrie Ten Boom (with John and Elizabeth Sherrill) on my mother's nightstand over thirty-plus years ago. Despite my love for reading, it was one of the rare childhood books I never read. Also, I don't recall ever overhearing my mother talking about the book, but the plot has strangely held a prominent place in my mind. Before watching the newest version of THE HIDING PLACE, I knew what it was about; I even knew about the 1975 film, and I'm positive I've never seen it.

This new version is a cinematic presentation of the stage adaptation—like a play performed on a stage but filmed like a feature film with cameras. The cinematography was a standout, and after a while, I didn't even notice everything takes place on a stage. The acting from the entire cast is a phenomenon.

THE HIDING PLACE is a stirring tale that will compel and move viewers to love and care for their neighbors more intensely. It's a motivational movie that will undoubtedly prompt discussion and interaction. ╌★★★★★
