Underground Reality: Vietnam

Review by Rebecca Grace - AFA Journal, March 2008

Join The Voice of the Martyrs and a group of eight teens from America and Australia as they travel to Vietnam where they experience the underground church first hand.
  Their ultimate mission is to smuggle Bibles. The outcome is life changing.
  The teens’ journey is documented in four episodes, titled Underground Reality: Vietnam, that highlight the group’s visits to youth camp, Bible College and a tribal village in the communist country of Vietnam. What they are doing is illegal, so their visits often end abruptly once authorities get wind of their presence.
  The teens come face to face with harassment and persecution as well as the courageous faith of the Vietnamese believers who must worship in secret. God is at work in Vietnam, so the DVD is a profound documentary that leaves quite an impact.
  However, it is of some concern that the documentary treats a God-ordained call to missions as an awesome adventure full of cool adrenaline rushes and a feel-good sense of accomplishment. Plus, there is some immodesty as well as discussions of harsh conditions and depictions of violence. A sick child and a near-death experience are shown as are the raw emotions of the teens who are touched by their experiences in Vietnam.
  Underground Reality: Vietnam is not rated and is available on DVD.
