This is a lovely movie that shows if you have a desire to do things there is a way to achieve, with great results

Many years ago I met the real Gladys Aylward and the story of how she walked hundreds of Chinese children, of all ages, over the mountains to escape the brutal, invading Japanese army was far scarier than this movie.

Nevertheless, the film captures some of the tension of the times, and the incredible courage of this English woman who went out to China with nothing behind her except her incredible faith in God. The song, ‘This old man, he played one’ came from this film.

A piece of history made into a (now classic) movie and well worth watching, especially when you know it's all true.
