Harry M Apr 7, 2019 With dangerous movies like this receiving high ratings, it's no wonder white police officers are gunning down unarmed black and brown children, men and women at alarming rates in addition to the mass incarceration of Hispanic and Black boys and girls. This movie introduces two sets of parents whose children are fighting for their lives. The white father screams, yells and fights to remove the black doctor and to receive the second opinion of someone else, a white doctor. The father continues to disrespect the black cardiologist as the white doctor has to consistently vouch for his credibility and expertise. The black parents on the other hand are also told devastating news and the mother does not challenge it but immediately accepts her son's fate in the midst of tears. The black father was the only one who respectfully rejected what he was told however, there was no asking of a second opinion or any discussion to how the boy's life could be saved. The white doctor offered no path to recovery for the black child, in fact, within days, the white doctor returned with the organ donor organization to take the child's organs. The doctor goes so far as to say to the black parents that "It has been a week and a half" He told them that he has held the hospital off as long as he could. The white doctor spent more time convincing the black parents to remove the boy's organs as opposed to a course of action to attempt to save his life. This is frightening. What?! I could go on and list the next 6 examples of the dehumanization of Black and Hispanic children and families in this PureFlix film all in the name of Christianity but scripture sums it up best. "Happy is He who keeps the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. Who keeps the truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed...The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises those who are bowed down. The Lord loves the righteous....But the way of the wicked He turns upside down". Psalms 146: 5-9 See more

Nov 28, 2018 A young pastor, David, is about to take over his father's very successful large church; ironically, this man of God is so consumed with his work at the church he neglects his twelve year old son Eric by missing important events in his life. John is the owner of a failing construction company. Deep in debt, John is pushing his daughter, Michelle, who has an awesome voice, into a singing career in the hope it will solve his money problem. Kate is a restaurant owner and single mom of a free spirited teenager, Maria, and has a hard time getting her to be more responsible. As the film unfolds, it's clear the lives of these three families are about to intertwine. When Pastor David misses picking up his twelve year old son, Eric, after a basketball game, he has to walk home on his own. At that same time, Kate's teenage daughter Maria is in her car paying more attention to her phone than driving. The inevitable happens and Eric is hit by Maria sending him to the hospital in critical condition. Meanwhile, the contractor John, pushes his daughter through a singing audition and for unknown reasons she collapses on stage. It is later discovered she has an incurable heart condition that requires a heart transplant. Pastor David's faith is shaken when he is told his son Eric is brain-dead and even though his heart is strong, he will never recover from his brain injury. After a difficult struggle, Pastor David agrees to allow Eric's heart to be donated to save the life of the contractor's daughter, Michelle. Maria, the teenager who struck down Eric lingers in jail waiting her fate. In the end, these three families come together in a renewal of faith, understanding, forgiveness, and love. I had a hard time writing a synopsis for this film because there is so much going on in this story. The detail of the deeper struggle each character goes through is the heart of this movie. Exactly how each character deals with their faith and how their interaction with each other opens their eyes to issues that need to be dealt with, makes for a fairly complex tale. In my view, this complexity can get in the way of the overall story. You have a pastor who struggles with his faith after a tragedy; a contractor who struggles with his faith because of his failing business and his daughter's illness; and a young girl who destroys her own life by carelessly taking the life of another. Each of these scenarios could be a whole movie by itself. For that reason, what you get here is a fairly abbreviated version of the emotions and spiritual growth process of each character. If you watch this film with the understanding that some of the character development and backstory are left out, and settle for the important life stages that are shared, you will come away with a satisfying experience.

Draco L Aug 6, 2018 A Question of Faith stars Richard T. Jones, Kim Fields, C Thomas Howell. and T.C. Stallings (of War Room). The story centers on the lives of three families who are intertwined by a tragic accident. It shows the power of God's love and forgiveness. When all seems lost, God always has a bigger plan in mind. If you're looking for a movie that showcases God's love for us even in our darkest hours this movie is for you. See more
