Last night, I watched another fantastic faith-based movie. This one deals with some heavy, real life issues - like PTSD in our veterans when they return from deployment, the harsh realities of gangs, drugs, suicidal thoughts, racism, and struggling with your faith. The focus is on a veteran struggling with PTSD and his faith, after losing his best friend in combat, and both parents in a car accident. Throughout the film, however, there is the hopeful message of God's grace and salvation.
The movie features Keshia Knight Pulliam (The Cosby Show), T.C. Stallings (War Room, A Question of Faith), Joey Lawrence (Melissa and Joey), and Robert Ri’chard (One on One). It's from the writer of A Question of Faith, and written/produced by Ty Manns, a veteran and father of active duty sons. It was filmed in Columbus, Georgia and Fort Benning.
There are some intense scenes, but it's been rated on Dove.org as appropriate for ages 12 and up. It will definitely give you the opportunity to discuss some of these issues with your kids as you watch together. I liked that this movie offers important, hopeful messages on the reality of PTSD in our returning war veterans. It's an important issue that isn't talked about often enough.
Check out the movie trailer here.
It was compelling and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to preview it. I am happy to have a digital viewing code to give away (though it will be after the film is released to home entertainment - so it will be a bit of a wait)
