Toward the Terra(2007)
This series is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include Exodus narrative — the Mu's journey from persecution and bondage toward a promised homeland (Terra/Earth), Moses as liberator and lawgiver — Jomy leads his people through generational struggle toward freedom and self-determination, Joshua and the conquest of the promised land — the final approach to and claim of Terra as the fulfillment of ancestral hope, Saul/Paul conversion narrative — Keith's transformation from persecutor of the Mu to understanding their cause, paralleling radical spiritual reorientation. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
