What would it mean to be a guiding light in someone's darkest hour? This week on Cinema Saturday, join me, Nathan, as I recount the unforgettable journey depicted in Angel Studios' latest release, "Brave the Dark." Starring Sasha Bhasin, Jared Harris, and Nicholas Hamilton, this powerful narrative tells the true story of Nate Williams, a young man saved from despair by the unwavering support of his drama teacher, Mr. Deen. As an elementary theatre teacher myself, I find this story deeply resonates with my own experiences, reminding us of the monumental impact educators can have beyond the classroom.
"Brave the Dark" is not just a film; it's a testament to the unsung heroes in our education system. With outstanding performances and an accessible storyline that transcends religious boundaries, it underscores the themes of kindness, resilience, and the enduring power of human connection. As a guild member of Angel Studios, I was privileged to witness this tale unfold, and I'm excited to delve deeper into the nuances of this film on my other podcast, "The Curtain and the Cross," alongside my fellow teacher and friend, Grace Jones. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to teachers who shape lives, often unnoticed—don't miss out!
