nobleNoble DVD – A Dream Can Change a Million Lives
#review #giveaway


 

I received the Noble DVD from Elliott from Edify Media Inc. to watch and let you know what I thought.  I watched some of the previews online, and it looked like a great story.  I couldn’t imagine having to deal with the things that this woman did, at such a young age.  Seeing her story and how she still wanted to make a difference was wonderful.

The movie is one that is great to watch with family, or your church group.  What an amazing story!!  For someone who had gone through so much in their life, to want to give back to others…and be able to change SO MANY lives, is remarkable.  It meant so much more, knowing it was a true story.  What an amazing woman, who was used by God to bring joy to the hearts of so many children, who were otherwise looked over.

There were some really exciting parts to the movie, amazing filming, great acting.  I would definitely recommend it to families (of older kids), church groups, or people wanting to know more about how to deal with disabilities, child trauma or family issues.  Thanks to Edify Media Inc. for letting us watch it, and post about it.


About The Movie:

nobleA fearless life. A reckless love.

They broke everything but her spirit. They took everything but her dream. NOBLE, the award-winning feature film, is the incredible true story of a fearless Irish heroine driven by her daring vision to escape the slums of Ireland and risk everything on the streets of Vietnam.

Christina Noble dreamed a dream, but it wasn’t the type of dream that brings peace in the midst of trouble or joy of a happier future. Christina Noble dreamed of war-soaked Vietnam, of children in trouble, of cries for help. While some people might run from such a dream, Noble knew that the dream was from God, and she pursued that dream faithfully. Because of her, thousands of children have been saved.

Winner of six U.S. film festival awards, including the Panavision Spirit Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the powerful biopic drama written and directed by Stephen Bradley is heralded by critics as “raw and genuinely powerful,” “captivating” and “moving.” The Hollywood Reporter calls it “a joyful and rousing affirmation of the human spirit that will resound widely.”
