It is a feature length documentary created by the filmmakers behind Journey to Everest, Apostles of Comedy, and Honoring a Father’s Dream: Sons of Lwala.

My Review
Living Hope isn't just the name of this film, it's the name of an amazing organization in Cape Town, South Africa that is working to show Jesus to those who are hurting. Unfortunately, there are many, MANY, hurting in Cape Town from all sorts or things...poverty, disease, drug addiction...and the list goes on. I can't begin to relay how moving this film was to watch. It's amazing what sharing God's love with others can do...not just by telling them, but by serving them and helping them.
This is a beautiful documentary that I highly recommend watching. It'll move you to do more to help those in need as it has my own family. After viewing this film, my daughter asked if we could donate to the Living Hope ministry, which I think is an amazing idea. :-)
Buy it!
The Living Hope DVD can be purchased on amazon.com for $9.99.
