This DVD based on a novel by Francine Rivers, was directed by Michael Landon Jr. and written by Brian Bird.
The setting of the film is Appalachia in the 1800''s. Cadi Forbes, a 10 year old from a community of Welsh immigrants continually seeks redemption from the terrifying Sin Eater – a man supposedly called by God to take on the sins of the deceased and save them from damnation. Cadi believes the Sin Eater can remove the burden of a secret sin that is tormenting her, and in her quest for peace she and a friend uncover a sinful past that is haunting their families and their community.
Thanks to a man of God who suspiciously, yet boldly, lurks around the mountain community, Cadi learns of Jesus Christ – the real Sin Eater – and shares Him with the community
Caution: There are several frightening scenes involving the Sin Eater, and there are multiple acts of violence that include beatings, shootings, injury, blood and even death, but the story of redemption is very clear.
