The Least of These: The Graham Staines Story

Gripping and thought provoking. The Movie takes you through a journey of a man who challenges you to reflect and forgive. This is one story that needed to be told.

Powerful story of love, commitment, sacrifice and forgiveness. A film that all should see.

I was very touched by the end of this beautiful film (deserves 10 stars), but the atmosphere was totally ruined by a filmed discussion that immediately followed it (even before the credits in the theatrical version I saw). Ravi Zacharias and Shari Rigby are wonderful, but this "message to pastors and Christian leaders" was jarring and the placement was very much in poor taste. My heart goes out to the filmmakers for this tarnishing of their work.

What is an interesting true story was spoilt by painfully wooden acting and some really cheesy dialogue. The quality of filming is good, but it just isn't well written and the inter-personal level. The main actor (Graham) seems completely miss-cast. He comes across as condescending and out of touch with his Christian faith. Whilst helping people medically he has the charisma and warmth of a deep sea halibut, and a distinct tendency to sneer. Not really any likeable characters in the film, but nevertheless an important story. I wish it had had a different cast (all of them except maybe the journalists wife) a different dialogue writer and a different director. Maybe then it would have been a good film. Poor camera man was carrying the whole film.

Well made movie about Graham staines. Such a inspiring, motivated and heart touching movie.
