Corrie Ten Boom’s story of rescuing Jews during the Holocaust may be well known, but this new theatrical film portrays a relatable hero who still causes us all to ask questions about our response to suffering, says Emma Hide
Just like the internationally bestselling book and 1975 film before it, The Hiding Place theatrical film not only leaves viewers asking: “Could I have done the same?” but compels the question: “What can I do now?”
Adapted for the stage by AS Peterson and captured for the screen by director Laura Matula, the film chronicles the unwavering determination of the Ten Boom family as they risk their lives to rescue 800 Jews during the second world war. Rooted in biblical themes of faith, love, hope, courage and forgiveness, the performance takes its viewers on a journey into the depths of human resilience and capacity to love.

Interest in Pirates Cove has risen as a result of the popular Jesus Revolution film, which tells the true story of how thousands of hippies came to Christ. Pastor Greg Laurie called the event a “baptism of biblical proportions”. Here are some of the best photos and videos from the event, which took place on Saturday, and was attended by a reported 20,000 people
