Not to be confused with the more recent movie, "Candle in the Dark" about William Carey, I watched this movie in the 1990s and was blown away by it. Our family still comments occasionally when we're reminded of scenes from it.
The protagonist is a bubbly, self-absorbed average American teen-aged girl who is changed forever by the people's movement in Estonia. It's the kind of movie you think about long after it's finished... like Titanic or The Guardian. It deals with the core issues of life, liberty and happiness, and what those things are really worth.
I consider this a family-friendly movie, very tastefully handled, though it is not appropriate for younger children because of the theme. A PG-13 rating would be accurate, I think.
I'm sad to see the manufacturer discontinued it. I'd like a copy of it on DVD. With the current political atmosphere, I want my kids to see this movie.
