And at the movies...
three deeply affecting films shine the light on the
complexities of fatherhood.
A Better Life
In theaters: June 24th, 2011
From the director of ABOUT A BOY comes A BETTER LIFE—a touching,
poignant, multi-generational story about a father's love and the lengths
a parent will go to give his child the opportunities he never had.
Courageous
In theaters: September 30th, 2011
Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers,
they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets can
offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge they're ill prepared
to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left
wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering.
Sherwood Pictures, creators of FIREPROOF, returns with this heartfelt, action-
packed story. Protecting the streets is second nature to these law enforce-
ment officers. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That
takes courage.
The Descendants
In theaters: December 16th, 2011
From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning SIDEWAYS, set
in Hawaii, THE DESCENDANTS is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic
journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father
of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future
when his wife suffers a boating accident off Waikiki. The event leads
to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with
a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty
and missionaries.
