Unconditional The Movie

           How far are you willing to go to make your dreams come true? If you don’t accomplish your dream the first time, will you give up? What if your dream causes you discomfort by putting you in a place where things are uncertain? Will you still believe?

            I have had the chance to work with individuals who could answer these questions without hesitation. The producers of Unconditional, a movie starring Michael Ealy and Lynn Collins, sacrificed time, money, personal lives, and sanity to produce a movie that has unfolded to be their divine purpose. Being independent filmmakers is not an easy task because the individual does not have the financial backing of a major movie company. Therefore, these individuals have to work diligently to get into theaters. To add more to a tedious process, the movie is a faith-based film, which is one of the hardest films to market to a mainstream and secular audience. Being a part of this marketing process has been most rewarding because you know in the end the movie is going to be an impactful feature and lives will be changed. Seeing Bishops, Pastors, and leaders from all over the country view this movie and support shows the urgency and need for a movie of this caliber. Hopefully, after much success, major companies will choose to do movies with Harbinger Films.

After seeing this movie, my life was change forever because I could relate to many of the characters. At first, I thought it was going to be a typical faith-based movie, but as the movie progressed, I was very intrigued by the suspense and storyline. Papa Joe, played by Ealy, is based on an individual from Nashville, Tennessee whose life and anger lead him to prison, but he was able to turnaround and help youth in the projects. After suffering from an illness, it threatened his ability to care for the kids, but he kept hope alive. Sam, who is played by Collins, is faced with a tragedy that stripped her life away, but strategically, she is placed on the course of finding her childhood friend, Papa Joe, who helped her get on the road to forgiveness and healing. This movie teaches about selflessness and forgiveness. Unforgiveness blocks us from the truth and the ability to live life freely.
