Watching the movie 'Overcomer'...

Tonight, I had another girls night out and got the chance to watch the movie 'Overcomer' which is the fourth movie installation by the Kendrick brothers film company. The first three movies being: Fireproof, Courageous, War Room with initial preceding movies 'Flywheel' and 'Facing the Giants'.

It's a Christian faith-based movie that tells the story about a community which is losing people as they move out of town to find other work opportunities due to a big manufacturing firm closing. In fact, the basketball coach at the local high school ends up coaching a cross country running team with only one runner and it's her story that the movie centres on.

What I liked about the movie is that it discusses the reconciliation between a father who had formerly been a drug addict who is dying in hospital and his estranged younger daughter who is a cross country runner and also asthmatic.

The overcoming theme is neat in that it encourages ideas of forgiveness, reconciliation, striving towards a goal and succeeding. A highly recommended family film for all ages...
