Primary
The film's foundational ideology is explicitly Christian and conservative, emphasizing faith and spiritual truths as central solutions, while also incorporating progressive social commentary on exploitation and featuring inclusive representation.

Its narrative, guided by a social justice advocate director, explicitly centers on Black women's experiences, empowerment, and culturally specific themes, making DEI a core element of its storytelling.
Secondary
The film casts African American actors for the main characters Ruth, Boaz, and Naomi, who were historically and canonically depicted as ancient Semitic people from the Near East in the biblical source material. This represents a change in race from the established source.
