Screened at the Athens (Ohio) International Film Festival
'Son of Man' was screened on Monday and Wednesday of the festival. The response from the audience was very positive. You dont have to be a Christian to appriciate this movie, just someone who cares about humanity. It's a rare movie that appeals to both types of auidences those who are Christian and those who dont consider themselves. Following the bible narrative, but updating it for the modern South Africa, this was one unique and inspiring movie going experience. 'Son of Man' has little dialogue, a good amount of music, and moments of political strife. I hope this movie gets distributed and if the producers are smart this movie has the potential to make ALOT of money (but more importantly move an audience). This movie is more meant for Christians who have a heart for third world countries, embrace fair trade, and read books by Donald Miller and Jim Wallis. More traditional or legalistic ones will walk away not enjoying as the open-minded. A satisfying, moving experience that I hope all get a chance to see.
