17 Miracles

About This Movie

17 Miracles is a fascinating exploration of faith and survival during the harrowing journey of the Willie Handcart Company. T.C. Christensen captures the grit and determination of the characters, particularly Levi Savage, played by Jasen Wade, who has this palpable sense of dread about embarking on the journey so late in the season. The film's pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring the struggles and unexpected moments of grace faced by the pioneers. The practical effects give it a raw, authentic feel, immersing you in 1856. There's a striking juxtaposition of despair and hope that unfolds, and while it’s rooted in historical events, the personal stories resonate deeply—it’s really an exploration of miracles amidst hardship.
