I went to see the film prior to reading any reviews, the film addressed the inner faith that propelled many forward who were brought by force to this country. Yes the scriptures that were meant to inflict control actually provided strength and wisdom. They just faith to out run and to out wit the enemy. I loved the cinematography and when he fought the alligator he used a dagger not his bare hands. I have about 50 units of film studies to say, the film was not a fantasy. The film was not a comeback, he never went away.
