More details about Redeeming Love and where you can watch

Redeeming Love is adapted from Francine Rivers’ bestselling 1991 novel of the same name. The story itself draws heavily from the Old Testament Book of Hosea, particularly the relationship between the prophet Hosea and Gomer. The movie relocates those biblical themes of faith, forgiveness, and unconditional love to California during the Gold Rush of 1850.

The film was shot in South Africa, including locations around the Stellenbosch winelands, even though the story takes place in California. Production began in February 2020 and reportedly lasted about eight weeks.

Did You Know

One of the movie’s more unusual historical details is actually a deliberate-looking musical anachronism: IMDb notes that Scott Joplin’s “Maple Leaf Rag” can be heard in Duke’s San Francisco establishment. The problem is that Joplin was born in 1868, while the movie is set around 1850, and “Maple Leaf Rag” was written decades later in the late 1890s.
