Amish Grace - DVD

Amish Grace - DVD The Lifetime original film based on the 2006 Nickel Mines Amish school shooting.

The peaceful Amish community of Nickel Mines is forever changed when a gunman senselessly takes the lives of five girls in a schoolhouse shooting before taking his own life. What transpires afterward takes the community by storm, as the media descend on the town and criticize its Amish leaders for their notion of unconditional forgiveness of the shooter and their outreach of support to his widow, Amy Roberts (Tammy Blanchard). Devastated by her daughter’s death, Ida Graber (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) finds herself struggling with her community’s belief in the transcending power of forgiveness. Deeply conflicted and unable to forgive the gunman and his family, Ida is tempted to leave the only life she’s ever known before re-embracing her faith.

1. A tragedy that teaches forgiveness

   This is a tragic film based on true events that will touch your heart and your spirit. You can't help but be moved by the faith and forgiveness that the Amish show to the wife of the man who killed their children and to the killer himself. Few events in our lifetime show this side of human nature. It is truly born of a deep love and faith in our God. This was a very well done film and one that should be experienced.Review by JW

   Amish Grace is a DVD that I will never forget! The impact that it left on my heart and my memory will not allow me to forget it! This tragic story of 5 Amish girls losing their lives to a man who mercilessly took them was hard to watch, but the grace and forgiveness that the Amish people extended to that man's family, was almost harder! Amish Grace is a must see, as it gives example to the truest test of forgiveness, and shows how possible it is. Highly, highly recommend this DVD!Review by Priscilla
