aptly named, this 'based on a true story' movie seems all but impossible.  the idea that that there could be a happy ending in a tragedy that took nearly 300,000 lives, seems beyond reason.

and truly, it is beyond reason.  it can't be explained or justified, it just is what it is.  miraculous.

sometimes i find myself hoping for miracles in my own life, yet lacking faith in their ability to manifest.  a movie (story) like this reminds me just how powerful god is and just how able to work those miracles.

hands down one of my favorite movies of the year.
