The date was 1956. From the steamy jungles of Ecuador news spread around the world that four young Americans were mercilessly killed by members of the Auca tribe - a people those young men had gone to serve and befriend. That seemingly senseless tragedy a half century ago has turned into an historic inspirational marvels as that same tribe is now friends with the families of those they killed! This is the story of Jim Elliot.
Jim Elliot spent his youth preparing to share the Gospel with those who had never heard it. But nothing could have prepared him for the dangers and challenges he would face in the jungles of Ecuador. The remote Auca tribe was suspicious and antagonistic toward even the most friendly of gestures from outsiders.

This animated movie dramatizes Jim's adventures in faith from his college years to his work in the jungles, showing young people his faith in action as he answers God's call to do the seemingly impossible.
