Film Summary: An indescribable heaviness settles upon us. Looking into the near future, we see that we are checking our luggage, and Chris trying to sneak an oversized bag on his back as a carry-on at the Korean Air counter, good luck. We stand circled with family and friends with smiles and sniffles, waiting for a 777 to kidnap us overseas. A sorrow, the thought of leaving this enchantment behind us, for how long our return will be is unknown. What is known is that our Father has rested on our hearts this part of the world.
Some assume that if you enjoy a place and it does you right then it traps you. Within our town the streets are littered with garbage and sometimes the stench of human and animal poverty whirls so thickly in your nose you can taste it. Shantytowns are checkered throughout this growing metropolis. It is inescapable. A reminder wherever you go.
The children are usually playing but not always... Sometimes they are sent off into the streets to tug at your clothes to beg for change. Things are a little off. But if you squint, you can see past all of it... Right into the core of what this town is about. Love. Love is what keeps the beat going around here. The class difference is quit stark here and something has to keep these people running... It's all about survival, all about family, all about providing... All about love.
Please enjoy the short film of our travels from Arlington to our hometown.
