Two movies have been released recently that deserve a lot of attention. First, New Song Pictures gives us To Save a Life . This movie is one of the most inspirational and well-made films that I have seen in recent years. It has been released to all theaters in the US and has been starting to make a difference in the lives of teenagers who can relate to scenarios in this movie. "To Save A Life" deals with all the issues that high school students are dealing with these days and gives positive solutions to those problems. From suicide to abortion, there is little that this movie does not cover. Here is the trailer:(click here if you cannot see the movie)
Also, here are some reactions from teenagers who have seen "To Save a Life": (found on the To Save a Life Website)
"When I was in junior high, I was bullied to the point of suicidal thoughts. God is who stopped me from following through. I had previously just pushed the memories behind me and acted like nothing ever happened, but now I want to do something. I want to make sure no one else feels the way I once did. This movie changed the way I look at life. Save a Life! "
- Dale
"The To Save A Life Story means a lot to me, because I was the one that needed saving last year. If people could only understand how far one small act of kindness could go, the world would be a better place. I love that this movie is bringing real-life issues that people rarely talk about to light and showing teens how to deal with them. You never know who around you feels he is the outcast - treat others as you would want to be treated. Save a life. This movie is going to change our teenage population for the better."
- Sara
Similarly, the less widely distributed Sarah's Choice is another movie that seeks to push back the curtain on abortion and show it for what it really is. "Sarah's Choice" is now available on DVD. Here is the trailer:
