The Child Crusades - Barefoot to the Promised Land

2006 · 53 min Documentary History
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

It was a fateful expedition into the unknown. 50.000 children marched along the banks of the Rhine and the Loire Rivers dressed in rags, dragged themselves barefoot across the snow-covered Alps. They reached the shores of the Mediterranean in a state of exhaustion, and were loaded onto shady ships and ended up as slaves at North African markets. The film snatches the stirring fate of these children from the realm of the forgotten and gives them back their dignity on the pages of history.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Child Crusades - Barefoot to the Promised Land is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A 2006 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
