Tonight on Lifetime Movie Network at 8p Amish Grace premieres and it is a must watch movie. Amish Grace is loosely based on the school shooting at an Amish Schoolhouse in 2006 that left five girls and the shooter dead. The Amish believe you should forgive everyone even the man that gunned down 5 little girls at their school, and the film tells the story of one of the mom’s who cannot forgive that man. Several people of their community help the wife and children of the gunman, but the mom is the only one who cannot fake it around it. A journalist wonders how they can be so forgiving when she is not and she didn’t know anyone involved in the shooting. The mother finds solace in that journalist and decides she cannot stay in that community and knows if she leaves she will be shunned and her husband will never ever talk to her again. Will she leave or will something change her mind. There are plenty of scenes that will make you cry, but also inspired how the Amish faith is so strong even at their weakest. There are plenty of powerful scenes that will make you re-evaluate how you handle your hate and the movie will show you that you should not let it get the best of you.
Amish Grace is an amazing story about loss and forgiveness and will make you reconsider how you feel about forgiveness, so watch it tonight on LMN at 8p.
