In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family finds themselves as outcasts--wherever they go. Their Armenian heritage marks them for discrimination, first in their home country of Azerbaijan and then in Russia. After finding their eternal hope through a church planted by American missionaries, the hostility of everyday life pushes them to seek refuge in the United States. In the shadow of exile, hope became their home. Based on a riveting true story of faith and hope set amidst great oppression.

Proficiently crafted as far as production design and cinematography go, “Between Borders” runs on didactic writing that renders the Petrosyans’ plight into a derivative period drama.

The movie highlights principles that many people of faith hold to: Love one another, treat others like you would want to be treated, and, to help yourself, help others.

Rated: 3/5

Oh my! This movie was right on, and I wish everyone could see it - especially in today's climate. I work with refugees and asylum seekers, and this is their story. That these people can even move on is remarkable, but they do - somehow. Feeling accepted and loved makes all the difference. We have just have no idea.

Craig

The writer/director was at the screening to tell us a little bit about the film. He said it was very low budget ($1.5 million) and that they had to kind of work “under the radar” during the 20 days of shooting on location. The film did not feel the least bit low budget. The script and the performances were never cheesy. The family’s emotions were portrayed powerfully. The photography was excellent. I hope it gains much greater reach when it becomes available on the Angel platform.
