“‘[Wilson] and his crew visited 14 countries and often were shocked by the depths of evil they encountered. Wilson has described the making of ‘Furious Love’ as the hardest spiritual journey he’s ever gone through…. Pastors and others who previewed the movie, which takes viewers from a sex trade district in Thailand to a ‘demon tent’ in Tanzania to occult hot spots near and far, were already saying the film was life-changing.”
