New film takes message of redemption to big screen

This Friday Preacher's Kid, a modern retelling of the story of the prodigal son, will hit the silver screen with a message of redemption and unconditional love, reports Charisma News Online.

"It's the story of the prodigal child brought forward into modern time," said the film's distributor, Matt Crouch, chief executive officer of Gener8Xion Entertainment. "What we were able to do is put a film camera on a story that Jesus told, trying to describe His love for man and God's unconditional love for man."

Preacher's Kid, which opens in roughly 100 major-market theaters nationwide, stars Letoya Luckett, a former member of the R&B group Destiny's Child, as Angie. A sheltered pastor’s daughter, Angie decides to strike out from her strict father's home by joining the cast of a traveling gospel play. She soon discovers that her "Christian" cast members aren't very Christ-like, and she finds herself in compromising situations and ashamed to return home.
