The Least Among You

“The Least Among You” is a film put out by Lionsgate and tells the story of Richard Kelly. Set in the 1960’s after the Watts Riots, Kelly is sentenced to serve out his probation at an all white seminary. Every thing seems on the up and up but the tension begins to surface when a major donor pulls out of a major project. While there is not an awful lot of really good acting in this film it is a good story. Filled with some thought provoking ideas. It does a good job at sharing the scary fact the Christians and non-Christians share the same major character flaw we enter every relationship with assumptions that make it difficult to build trust. Somewhat predictable and unrealistic in its portrayal of 1960’s Watts the over arching message of the film is not missed; staying on Gods coarse always ends up well. Easy to watch and the cast does work well together this film is enjoyable.
