In chapel and devotions for the next several weeks students will be
exploring the idea of living your life honestly and based on truth,
not the lies we many times tell ourselves. To begin this series we
will be showing the movie “180”
The 180 Movie by Living Waters is a 33 minute presentation about the
abortion holocaust. It opens with Ray Comfort interviewing people and
asking what they know about Adolph Hitler. The disturbing ignorance
of so many young people who have no idea who he was reflects on the
lack of quality in our educational system. But that is not what the
video is about. Ray goes on to teach people who Hitler was and how he
killed 11 million people.
The video then goes on to the issue of abortion and talks about
killing the unborn. As the interviews continue, people defend what
they think is the right of a woman to choose to have abortions. With
the precision of a master, Ray uses logic to get people to see that
abortion is killing human beings. It is a joy to watch as people
change their minds. They do a 180
I have watched the movie, and it is a sobering, yet very well done
production. During the movie there are several pictures of Holocaust
victims, and one picture of a fully formed baby that has been a victim
of abortion. We understand, and are sensitive to the hearts of our
students. The pictures take up about 30-40 seconds of the movie. We
will be encouraging the students that if, during these 30-40 seconds,
they are too uncomfortable, and they want to put their head down, that
this is perfectly normal and understandable.
As your students head out into the world they will be exposed to this
controversial topic. This movie will equip the students with a greater
understanding of the value of a human life. It also lets them observe
first hand, how to lovingly approach this topic with others using
sound logic and acting out of love. This can be a great way to
opening up a talk with your son or daughter about the value of human
life, and the many applications this truth has right here in Cambodia.
Parents, I highly encourage you to review the movie so you are better
prepared for discussion with your son/daughter, as we work together to
equip them to face the reality of the world, well grounded in God’s
truth. It is available on YouTube for free. Simply type in “180”
