Cast
Reception
The Huffington Post praised the "impressive" cast for bringing "life and credence to this fascinating story of murder and faith". The review continued: "It is fascinating to watch from beginning to end not just because of the "whodunit" factor but also because of the religious implications. Plus the cast strikes just the right tone of intensity and natural charm."
Monsters and Critics described it posively as a "sweeping epic" that is both "compelling" and "thought-provoking."
