"What we have to do is love these people who hate us, love them, pray for them.
These people are wounded people who have hate in their hearts. They need forgiveness. They need the Lord."

Storyline
Dutch Resistance fighter Hans Poley in World War II, found refuge at Corrie ten Boom's house. Hans defies the new Nazi commandant and escapes with his life. He takes refuge in Corrie ten Boom's house, which is crowded with Jewish refugees and becomes part of her teen age army. Hans gets a false identity and joins the Dutch Resistance. As the Nazis commit atrocity after atrocity, the danger for Hans and his new compatriots increases tenfold.

Return isn’t a remake or retelling of the original "The Hiding Place" classic. Instead, it offers the Hiding Place told from a fresh perspective-
Corrie ten Boom’s young resistance fighters, and their fight for faith and justice. The movie mostly centers around Hans Poley, a physics student who refuses to join the Nazi party. He goes into hiding at Corrie ten Boom’s house, and soon becomes active in the Resistance, including the large rescue of a Jewish orphanage.

Hans doesn't talk about Christ’s love for His people - he showed it, by being willing to lay down his life for strangers. He doesn’t talk about doing God’s work - he does it. And actions speak so much more loudly than words.

But its not just a great movie about a group of courageous heroes. Whereas the original had a faith-based message, "Return" has a message for Christians more on the political side. Return showed Christians during the war in an honest light - how some Christians didn’t want to get involved- because they were either scared or didn’t want to disobey the law - and what the consequences of that were.

Review
Director Peter Spencer said Hans had told him "every generation has a litmus test." For Hans, this was one of the most horrifying times in history. For us, it may be unborn babies (abortion), the war on traditional marriage, ISIS, HAMAS and plainly the government. Hans and the ten Booms could have very easily said "Well, it’s too hard. It’s illegal, our lives our at risk. We can’t do this." and it may have seemed pretty justifiable.

But they didn’t - and they saved over 800 Jews (and many non-Jews, like Hans) because of it. I felt like the film did an excellent job paralleling today’s society - how so many Christians are too afraid to speak up and get involved, as if shielding their eyes to everything evil in the world will somehow make everything seem okay. But unfortunately, it’s not true. I felt this was the strongest message of the film, and I honestly couldn’t agree more. It felt like a great challenge to Christians to stand up for their faith, convictions, and what is right, no matter the cost. It shows it will not be easy, but ultimately, as the real-life Hans said, "I know that my Redeemer lives."
