Rating: C --
A compelling story with fascinating characters, undone by a script that does the opposite of what its real-life Liberian missionaries would do: it doesn't take any chances.

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Based on a true-life tale, this second feature from Garrett Batty recounts the story of six Mormon missionaries fleeing civil war-torn Liberia in 1990.
Hollywood Reporter
Draggy and one-note, [Freetown is] an indie more interested in reaffirming Mormon dogma than in delivering compelling drama.

Film Journal International
Rating: 3/5 --
Cinematographer Jeremy Prusso catches some stunning imagery, Robert Allen Elliott's score is genuinely stirring, and the cast, most of whom are from Monrovia, is uniformly excellent.

Austin Chronicle
As a film with a religious message, Freetown scores. As a film, this genuine effort has a few rough edges.

The Script Lab
The film, based on true events, feels dramatic and thrilling at moments. Other times, its heavy-handed proselytizing mars the proceedings.

Product Description:
From director Garrett Batty comes a drama based on true events of Liberian missionaries during their country's civil war. Six missionaries and a local minister in Monrovia seek asylum in Freetown, Sierra Leone in the midst of a brutal civil war in the 1990s. To reach religious and personal freedom, they must traverse their war-torn home country and evade rebels out to kill one of their own. This story of hope and perseverance is set amid a backdrop of incredible odds.
