"The Least of These" is a drama film based on true events that chronicles the life and work of missionary Graham Staines in rural India. The story takes place in 1999, in the state of Odisha, where Graham (played by Stephen Baldwin) and his family are dedicated to serving the community of lepers.
As the movie begins, the audience is introduced to Graham, a compassionate and humble man who has devoted his life to caring for those rejected by society. He and his wife Gladys (played by Shari Rigby) live a modest lifestyle, emulating Christ's teachings.
Graham's work receives criticism from a nationalist political party, which claims that his conversion efforts are a threat to the Hindu community. The leader of this party, Mahendra (played by Manoj Mishra), launches a smear campaign against Graham, accusing him of forcible conversions.
Meanwhile, a young journalist named Manav Banerjee (played by Sharman Joshi) is assigned to cover Graham's story. Manav is ambitious and initially skeptical of Graham's motives. However, as he spends more time with the Staines family and witnesses their selflessness and genuine love for the lepers, his perspective starts to shift.
The film delves into the dilemma faced by Graham when Dhanu (played by Prakash Belawadi), a disturbed young man brainwashed by the political party, becomes fixated on the Staines family. Dhanu starts stalking them and eventually carries out a horrendous act of violence, setting fire to their car while they sleep inside.
The devastating act of arson results in the tragic death of Graham and his two young sons, Philip and Timothy. The incident shocks the entire nation and generates widespread outrage.
Following the horrific event, Gladys Staines displays incredible strength and forgiveness, refusing to harbor hatred towards Dhanu or those who orchestrated the attack. Her unwavering faith and ability to forgive becomes a powerful message of hope and compassion. The movie also focuses on Manav's transformation as he grapples with his own prejudices and finds himself deeply moved by the Staines family's unwavering faith.
"The Least of These" portrays the inspiring story of Graham Staines and his family, shining a light on their selfless dedication to helping the marginalized and the subsequent tragedy they faced. The film emphasizes the themes of love, forgiveness, and the power of faith in the face of adversity.
