Breckenridge Film Festival 2013 “Best Feature” and “Best Actress” Winner
Follows One Woman’s Struggle with Faith
in the Face of Survival and the Battle Against Time

Word Films is set to release Breckenridge Film Festival’s 2013 “Best Feature” and “Best Actress” winner “Let God” on DVD on February 25. The faith-based film  follows  the story of young housewife, Amelia, who heads west with her husband during the 19th century gold rush and is left alone without resources in the harsh wilderness when her husband is killed in a savage attack. Battling winter, hunger and the unknown, Amelia must take life into her own hands as she struggles with a loss of faith and battles for her survival.

In addition to winning both “Best Feature” and “Best Actress” honors at the 2013 Breckenridge Film Festival, “Let God” was also an official selection at the 2013 Gideon Film Festival and has earned the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for any age. “This is a terrific Story!” said the Dove Foundation. “The writer/director and leading actress Jasmine Jandreau, as Amelia, somehow manage to make this story of survival a powerful movie about trials and a faith that overcomes all odds…You will enjoy watching this one. Don’t miss it!”






My Thoughts

Against her better judgment, Amelia agrees to leave friends and family to set route to California Gold rush with her husband Levi.  He made it clear for her not to tell anyone, not even family.Although she did tell her best friend, who pleaded that it was dangerous and she should not go. While in route, Levi was brutally attacked and killed.  Amelia is now left alone in the wilderness.

Throughout the movie, Amelia must find the strength within her soul to battle hunger in frigged cold winter, while all alone in the unknown.  Along her travels in the wilderness, she comes across a mysterious young boy (seems to be an Indian) who seems to have been following her.  He has a small teepee in the middle of the forest.  He speaks no English.  It was if he was sent to her to keep going until she found a town.  They traveled together in the cold, and crossing a river.  When at last she sees a town. But when she turns back to grab the small boys hand to take him with her, he isn't there beside her.

Through Amelia's faith in god and strength she was able to survive.  This is a very inspirational movie, one the whole family can watch. 

You can pick up a copy of this DVD at World Films or grab a copy on Amazon.
