Dove Review

“Encounter at the Summit Cross” is a breathtaking and jaw dropping documentary of the beauty of the Alps in Europe and the people who ascend to the Summit Cross. The documentary features mountain guides Samuel and Simon, two brothers, a man named Bruno, Susanna and Sylvia, and various other people who climb to the summit. Climbing the beautiful mountains is compared to scripture and spiritual ideas such as “keep looking up.” One woman struggles, and she says “Lord, show me the way,” and “when I’m connected to God, I don’t fall into the abyss.” One climber states that although she trusts the guide, “ultimately my trust is in God.”

The beauty and majestic power of the Alps will capture the viewer’s attention. There is a sweeping music score, which blends nicely with the visuals. Ultimately, this film gives glory to God for, as one person states near the end, “Jesus Christ brought Heaven and Earth together.” The word “hope” is used to describe what is offered to the world. Six people converge at the summit and huddle around the huge cross there. We happily award this uplifting documentary our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages. Let it sweep you away with its beauty!
