Although suffused with welcome touches of sly humor, the proceedings never gather the necessary dramatic momentum.

Hollywood Reporter
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)
In total, Freetown delivers a powerful message despite limited means, and marks another success for an emerging filmmaker.

Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
As a film with a religious message, Freetown scores. As a film, this genuine effort has a few rough edges.

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.

Rating: 3/4 --
It's a satisfying surprise indeed to find a "Mormon movie" willing to confront the church's legacy of racism head-on.

Salt Lake City Weekly
Rating: 3/4 --
Through the adventure, both powerful and funny, Batty and co-screenwriter Melissa Leilani Larson also create a deeply moving depiction of day-to-day missionary work.

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.
