Unsung heroes is a fascinating, moving, and gripping true story about faith, family and music. Out in cinemas on June 14th this new film from Kingdom Story Studios is a terrific film about family, faith, and releasing your full potential. It certainly deserves to be a hit and I, for one, hope it will be.
The second major faith film this year, following Ordinary Angels, this is the true story of David and Helen Smallbone. When David’s music company in Australia collapses, he uproots the family in Nashville and sets out to start life all over again. However, it simply isn’t that easy, and all sorts of factors conspire to make like difficult for them.
Eventually, the couple begin to recognize the talent that exists within their own family. Their children have talent. The children’s musical career starts with their daughter Rebbeca St James, who was the first in the family to get a recording contract. Luke and Joel went on to form For King and Country and became one of the most successful acts in contemporary Christian music. Between them they have won five Grammys.
The film has a terrific ensemble cast and the music, as you would expect, is wonderful and worth the price of the admission alone. A film for all ages that praises the virtues of persistence and not giving up. Seek it out and enjoy.
