About Beyond the Night
While running a free medical clinic in the 1960s, missionary couple John and Bettie Dreisbach face heavy government opposition in their attempt to preach the Gospel to the Muslim community of West Africa.
Directed by Katherine Stenholm, Beyond the Night leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Buttram, Barbara Buttram, Edward Panosian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1983.
