Film Summary: An
indescribable heaviness settles upon us. Looking into the near future, we see that we
are checking our luggage, and Chris trying to sneak an oversized bag on his
back as a carry-on at the Korean Air counter, good luck. We stand circled with family and friends with
smiles and sniffles, waiting for a 777 to kidnap us overseas. A sorrow, the
thought of leaving this enchantment behind us, for how long our return will be
is unknown. What is known is that our
Father has rested on our hearts this part of the world.
Some assume that if you enjoy a place and it does
you right then it traps you. Within our
town the streets are littered with garbage and sometimes the stench of human
and animal poverty whirls so thickly in your nose you can taste it. Shantytowns are checkered throughout this growing metropolis. It is inescapable. A reminder wherever you go.
The children are usually playing but not
always... Sometimes they are sent off into the streets to tug at your clothes
to beg for change. Things are a little
off. But if you squint, you can see past
all of it... Right into the core of what this town is about. Love. Love is what keeps the beat
going around here. The class difference
is quit stark here and something has to keep these people running... It's all
about survival, all about family, all about providing... All about love.
Please enjoy the short film of our travels from Arlington to our hometown.
Kidnapped by a Calling pt. 2 is in the works.
