Christian Film Database, January 2014

Absolutely LOVED the pastor in this film, exactly what I see as a great Pastor, revealing true Christianity in his character. The best part of this movie for me was Chris’ speech at the church meeting. Fantastic!

This is a movie about a singer, so there is a LOT of singing in this movie. If you like singing, you’ll really like this one.

Also, if you are a cat lover, you’ll love Mocha, who is a big part of Chris’ life.

One thing that really stood out to me was Chris being able to sing after a real tragedy in his life. We need to remember that everyone we meet is going through some sort of trouble or suffering. That is why we need to be merciful and compassionate with everyone we meet. We ALL have a story

End it all or begin again? That's the central question running throughout this Christian musical drama centering on Kris Kivi (Alan Maki), a 59-year-old man earning a living as a guitar-playing busker after his wife and children are killed in a car accident (that he survived) and he loses his job to the recession. Written by novelist, pastor, and lead actor Maki, and directed by Jeff Thomas, the story finds Kivi walking a narrow line of faith in the face of strong doubt, given what has befallen him. In addition to being harassed by a street gang, Kivi faces prejudice from local church members after a young minister (Joshua Haze) befriends him and invites him to sing for the congregation. Repentance and redemption will eventually win out, but far from offering a glossy view of the struggles of faith, this movie unflinchingly looks at the effort it takes to reach a point where belief can transcend the sometimes inexplicable tribulations of human existance. An authentic and honest film that focuses on grace and forgiveness in the face of weakness, injustice, and random (but devastating) events, this is recommended.
