I do not speak sign language and I had no challenges watching the film. In fact, it was easy. Gripping even, to have to soak in every detail without distraction.
There are lessons to be learned in every scene, both about the heavenly realm and about our every day lives, but isn't that always the case when we are hearing stories about Jesus.
There are some scenes I couldn't watch, but I don't know how bad they were (because I knew what was coming before it came on the screen so I didn't look). The prayer scene after the last supper was my cue. The anguish when Jesus prayed was so real and then you know the crucifixion is coming. I always choose not to watch the crucifixion. It's too hard on the heart. This movie though. was spectacularly done and is worth watching.
The long-awaited, first feature film about Jesus in American Sign Language is finally here! The best part of it all is that it’s Deaf led production and cast. Be among the first to experience the first full-length feature film about Jesus entirely in ASL! 68 out of 70 million deaf people are waiting to encounter Jesus. We are ready to make Him seen ... would you join us?
