(AgapePress) - - World Wide Pictures and Dean River Productions joined forces with the Rev. Billy Graham to create three full-length films that are now available on home video in DVD format.Each film is approximately 90 minutes long and includes a story line centered around the themes of forgiveness, love, deliverance, relationships, evangelism and salvation. An overt presentation of the Gospel is shared through the characters in each film and is done so in a way that is easily understood by viewers of all ages.
The films, which are both light-hearted and serious, deal with real-life experiences, although some of the situations are dramatized for audience appeal. Therefore, it is important to note that the films do contain some thematic elements such as drug deals, violence, gambling, immodesty and gang affiliations presented in a restrained manner likely intended to depict the harsh realities of life.
Something to Sing About stars Darius McCrary (Family Matters) and Tamera Mowry (Sister, Sister) and tells a story about an ex-convict who is in need of a Savior as he attempts to overcome a past laden with drugs and crime.
Last Flight Out follows the missionary ventures of a female doctor who is willing to risk her life for the sake of spreading the Gospel.
Road to Redemption stars Jay Underwood and uses Home Alone-type of humor to follow a young lady as she seeks an easy way out of her bad decisions only to develop a relationship with her estranged grandfather in the process.
Although predictable at times, the films are quality, family-friendly fare. All three films are available from the American Family Superstore or Fox Home Entertainment.
