About the Film:

The award-winning feature Return to the Hiding Place reveals the powerful, untold true story of Corrie ten Boom’s secret student army. It’s an extraordinary full-length film about Dutch students who rose up in a time of cultural degeneration to take a stand against evil, even at the risk of their own lives, led by Corrie’s unshakable faith and assurance in her redeemer.

 

Never has a film been more timely and more perfectly executed to ignite the hearts, minds, and souls of youth today. In our test market, theaters sold out in every venue, and youth rose to their feet in applause at the film’s close. Even in secular film festivals, Return to the Hiding Place swept up awards for Best Feature, Best Directing, and Audience Choice. See the trailer and many other videos of interest at the Return to the Hiding Place YouTube Channel.
