Once We Were Slaves

I loved it! Every single part of it from acting to directing was amazing! A perfect 10!

One can clearly see that it is a low budget production, but that small budget has come a long way. Nice authentic feeling background story, locations, costumes, etc. New approach to an old story from a different angle. Would habe loved it to be a full lenght movie since the character development was great and could have explored so much more if there were have been more time. Clearly this crew is talented and the film worth watching!

It is smart crafted story about the reasons, roots, facts, status of the two men crucified near the Savior. A simple story, nice to realistic details, interesting social fresco and fair exploration of the univers of the period.

A film for many reasons, just surprising. Touching and honest and good source of questions and presumed answers . And, maybe not surprising, a film not reduced at the familiar recipe of Christian movies , against the obvious low budget.

In short, a beautiful film for the precise and smart perspective about a great event who you are convinced to know very well.

The freshness of perspective, the reference to a future series from Chosen are basic tools for feel this film as remarkable.
