Chasing the Rain

Just watched this movie and really enjoyed it. Great story line with strong acting. Highly recommend it!

Thirsting. Parched. Looking for water in all the wrong places. Chasing the Rain tackles the problem of pain and suffering with raw honesty and stark realism. For once, a film with strong Christian themes that doesn't propose God as the easy solution to all of life's problems. Here are real sinners with real struggles in a fallen world. Here is a God with hard edges, the God hidden under the cross and suffering, the Hound of Heaven in pursuit of the fleeing soul. God may appear silent in suffering, but He is present in it for the sufferer. The baptismal imagery is particularly poignant. Also fun to see N. T. Wright in what may be his film-acting debut.

A man who loves photography and helping the poor in Kenya finds himself afflicted with a debilitating illness . He rejects love and is forced to confront a past he wishes to escape . Contemplative , tragic , sad ... It's not a big budget film but it is well acted and has several messages and works to pull the viewer in .

A thought provoking and moving film. Loved the humor moments throughout. A must see!

I just finished watching it, with a tear in my eye, what a great movie. No matter how beaten down you are, you are never out, unless you choose to be out. Very raw and brutally honest in his suffering, give it a watch, it worth the time.
