Musical Soundtrack Overwhelmingly Loud

While I'd like to think that the story is an amazing one, I really cannot tell by this film. I watched on my home TV, and had to keep messing with volume. The soundtrack music was so loud that the narrative voices of Michelle Dockery and John Rhys-Davies simply could not be heard. Interestingly, when it came to the author and other interviews of the women who researched Lilias Trotter, the music volume was greatly lowered.

More beautiful than you can imagine!

My Bible study group and I read a brief biography of Lillias Trotter, and so when I saw this documentary, I had to watch it, and it far exceeded any expectations! Everything was beautiful...... No, beyond beautiful. The scenery, and the way the documentary was shot; the music; the voice actors, and the dramatization actors - all were excellent. Mostly it was so inspirational, learning so much more about Lilias' life and sacrifices for her faith, and the spread of the gospel. Her artwork is so lush and gorgeous and the way they combined some live action images with the artwork was amazing. It was also so awesome to learn about the woman who has basically preserved her life and story for future generations - Myriam, Rockness, and the fact that she has made it her life's work to get the artwork and the story of the LiliasT rotter before the public. I thank God for her and I'm so thankful to have had this gorgeous documentary made available so that more people can know. If you have seen this, please tell others, and if you haven't, watch it NOW!
