Synopsis:
As the social fabric of life in rural India disintegrates in the late 1990s, journalist Manav Banerjee (Sharman Joshi) moves with his pregnant wife to the town of Orissa in hope of a better life and the promise of a lucrative career. When speculation mounts that local Australian missionary Graham Staines (Stephen Baldwin) is illegally proselytizing leprosy patients, Manav agrees to investigate undercover for the newspaper.

What he finds is a series of revelations that are difficult to fathom and even harder to explain, and Manav is forced to make a choice between his own ambition and the truth. In the end, his actions spark a tragic event that is felt around the world.

Based on a true story and shot on location in India, THE LEAST OF THESE beautifully illustrates the power of love, hope and forgiveness to overcome hate. Aneesh Daniel directs the film, featuring Stephen Baldwin, Shari Rigby, and Bollywood star Sharman Joshi with an original soundtrack including award-winning musical artists such as Michael W. Smith, Nicole C Mullen and Toby Mac.

Raising a Family in the War Torn Middle East

When you think of the Middle East and the conflict that is there, it is probably the last place you would ever think to take your family. But that wasn’t the case for Anna and her husband Dalton, they picked up with entire family including their 4 kids and made the move to the Middle East. There they work with FAI (Frontier Alliance International) who focus on crisis response, humanitarian aid, and international advocacy.

Anna shares about the life her and her family lead in a worn torn area. From the daily routine of raising 4 boys, to running to the front lines to help injured neighbours. It’s a very confronting place to raise a family, but even in the midst of war Anna and Dalton know there is so much that God wants to do.

Have a listen to our interview with Anna Lifsey.

 

In the interview, Anna shares about the heroics of her friend David Eubank. The footage below is of David and the horrific and confronting conditions of rescuing the little girl.
