Review of On Wings of Eagles (2016) by Lisa H — 03 Nov 2017

This is a quiet film, but one well worth seeing for its reminder that each of us, in our own way, are called to rise up and do what we know to be right. Some storytelling tactics have likely changed historical details here. Sensitive viewers may be disturbed by torture scenes and a graphic death in the film.

But for its fine acting, this movie look at a moment in history we hope will be left behind forever but that we can't afford to forget. A portrayal of one man's all-too-quick "race" through life, On Wings of Eagles is "the rest of the story" at its best.
