About This Movie

In God's Country (2007) offers a harrowing glimpse into modern-day slavery, focusing on Judith Joseph, a young woman ensnared within a polygamous community. The film manages to blend a grim atmosphere with a slow-burning tension that keeps you engaged, even as it tackles unsettling themes of freedom and oppression. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each scene to resonate. The performances, particularly from the lead, convey a raw vulnerability without veering into melodrama. It’s not flashy, but it sticks with you—there’s a stark realism in its portrayal of life under the strictures of 'God's Keepers.' Not your typical TV movie fare, it’s one that lingers long after the credits roll.
