Info

Meghan Doherty is a young, talented executive who neglects her mother and close friends to focus on one goal MAKING MONEY. After closing a multi-million dollar deal Meghan is asked by Mr. Randolph Whitaker (her boss/CEO) to close a deal of a lifetime. She's taking her talent to the Mojave Desert in hopes of getting a Christian land owner to turn over his land before auction. With a $100 million dollar potential deal looming, there is nothing that will stand in the way of her getting what she needs to further her career. Not even GOD? The foreclosed land in question, called God's Country, is owned by Eden Graham, a minister who runs a youth camp there, along with his wife and son, Jake. Upon arrival at the camp in her Ferrari and designer clothes, Meghan is clearly not a good fit, but Eden persuades her to stay; he promises to sign over the property to her if, during her weeklong sojourn there at the camp, she is not convinced of the value of what they are doing.

God's Country Audience Reviews

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
gdeller170 Jenn Gotzon and the cast did an amazing job of bringing forward what is truly important in our short time on this earth...Its about honoring God's glory, removing ourselves from the worship of worldly possessions and re-aligning our lives.The crew have their heads focused on helping others and even created a ministry to help aspiring actors...truly inspiring! A stand out movie to watch with family who think they "have it all" when they actually have only material items and not a true understanding of Love/Appreciation/Guidance.Well done Jenn and crew!!
mrwarren8 If your looking for a fun family christain film full of entertainment and inspiration, then look no further than Gods Country. Chris Armstrong the director did a excellent job with the scenery, beautiful shot. really made the story of Gods Country. Gods country was one of the best movies I've seen very inspirational such a great heartwarming film, that I believe will change people's lives, really touched my life so much. Jenn Gotzon is such a wonderful and talented actress who really shines through her character . I loved seeing the transition of her characters transformations, and the scene where she was watching the land and turned off her phone she brought so much emotion. She brought so much depth and chemistry to her character Meghan. The film has an incredible cast and crew. This is a Great Family movie. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a Great christain film that will inspire and bring you closer to God.
alrienberg Looking for an uplifting, family-friendly film with a great lesson we can all learn from? Then look no further than God's Country! Director, Chris Armstrong, has truly "Hit it out of the Park" in his film directorial debut here! Chris' eye for capturing true emotion within any given moment is incredible! The locations and cinematography are just amazing and just plain beautiful to look at and enjoy! The entire cast featured are very talented and engaging throughout. Truly, the standout performance for me and our family, was by Jenn Gotzon! She has a strong, incredibly natural and relatable delivery throughout! It is very emotionally rewarding to see her character transition from being a highly self-focused woman to one who then finds the greatest value in putting other's needs before her own. God's Country is a breath of fresh air, reminding us that independent Christian films can be made with superior excellence and they certainly have incredibly inspiring stories to tell. God's Country is a must see film and one that every person should definitely have as a integral part of their personal family collection!
Shelly Woods 5.0 out of 5 stars God's Country, an Excellent Film of Inspiration, April 21, 2013 By Dr. Fred "Dr. Fred" (Salem, VA) - One of the things that plagues independently made films of faith is that without big studio backing there will be problems with such things as lighting, editing, music and sadly even acting. There is no such problem with this film, it is positively brilliant and I have had the privilege of reviewing faith based and family films for years. This is a film that should have been featured in theaters as there is a wide open expanse of beauty that harks back to the great old days of the John Ford epics. Of course this is not a Western though it takes place in Western style territory. There are also scenes in the metropolis of LA and here is one of the areas the film shines in. You are taken back and forth from city to country, intercutting between scenes in a style often over looked in films today. Certainly the director Chris Armstrong, who put this together, deserves credit for knowing his craft. However, I have to single out one element in particular. Though the over all cast is good, this is a Jenn Gotzon film and were this theatrical we would be talking Oscar. Jenn Gotzon plays a top notch business woman who knows the art of the deal and is at the pinnacle of the ladder of success. Her assignment is to talk a preacher and his family into giving up his land, his dream, which is used as a campo for young people. The preacher challenges Jenn to wait six days and during this time... well I don't want to be a spoiler. I will just say that seldom has an actress had to make herself believable in so many settings and she pulls it off in the style of the great actresses during Hollywood's Golden Age. Of course it is a faith based film and you will see the hand of God throughout the story. The film is a miracle itself and I am thankful it was shown in a special preview screening. I will say I am not alone in my opinion as the film drew the audience in a way I have seldom heard of and there was applause at the end.
