Between 1982 and 1992, the Meserete Christian Church was forced underground by the existing Marxist regime. Combining interviews with church members and dramatic re-enactments, the program traces the heroic response of the Meserete congregation, as they formed clandestine cell groups for prayer and evangelical meetings in private homes. Ironically, the Meserete Church, which had some 5,000 members in 1982 grew to 50,000 members during the oppressive and dangerous decade of Communist rule. Very nicely produced, Against Great Odds is a solid inspirational title that focuses on the tenacity of the human spirit in the face of great odds. Recommended. (Available from: Vision Video, P.O.
