Between Borders – In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family finds themselves as outcasts—wherever they go. Their Armenian heritage marks them for discrimination, first in their home country of Azerbaijan and then in Russia. After finding their eternal hope through a church planted by American missionaries, the hostility of everyday life pushes them to seek refuge in the United States. In the shadow of exile, hope became their home. Based on a riveting true story of faith and hope set amidst great oppression,

The story is told in flashbacks during the court case to determine if the family can stay in the United States. It kept my attention during the whole movie. I think the flashback scenes were woven into the court room scenes very smoothly. The Petrosyan family’s story is fascinating, heartbreaking, and full of hope.

Between Borders is a drama. So the movie is very dramatic in look, and feel. There are, however, some lovely moments between the family, amongst the heartbreaking moments.

Between Borders Movie Review
The Petrosyan family’s story is fascinating, heartbreaking, and full of hope. The family had to leave their home and country with nothing. The girls couldn’t even take their favorite stuff animals. They left behind family, friends, home, belongings, and money. To become refugees in Russia. Where they were constantly bullied, the parents as well as the girls.
There was one scene with the mother that made me mad, and want to cry all at the same time.
Being from a Communist country, the Petroysyan’s didn’t have a faith in God. When his in-laws introduced his wife and daughters to church, and they all found comfort and solace there, Ivan was reluctant to attend. He did finally go, and became friends with the pastor, who helped him immensely. With his faith, and with his day to day life.

This film stars Patrick Sabongui, Elizabeth Tabish from The Chosen & Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost & The Santa Clause movies. I think they did a great job of portraying their characters. Especially Elizabeth Mitchell. Her character fought against the family being allowed to stay in the United States, so is very stern, and forceful in her questioning in court. However, her little smile after the verdict showed how she really felt.
