From the studio that brought us ‘God’s Not Dead’ and ‘What If’, Pure Flix Entertainment brings us ‘Hope Bridge. This is a great movie for the current generation. There seems to be so much talk of suicide in the news this day, young and old. This is one boy’s journey of pain, loss and hope. Sixteen year old Jackson (Boo Boo Stewart from Twilight) has just lost his father. The family finds out that it was suicide and his father jumped from a local bridge. When Jackson gets into a fight at school over something another student says, he’s suspended and sent to see licensed psychologist, Dr. Eric Grant (Kevin Sorbo). This leads him to a therapy session where he meets Sopie. He enlists her in helping him to find answers to explain his father’s suicide. But will the answers he finds bring him comfort or just make the pain worse? In this journey of sucide, loss and struggle will Jackson find the support he needs to continue on? What will he discover about his father that may lead to his own final decision? This film is a great Public Service Announcement to all those who have dealt with/are dealing with suicide in thier life. It supports the the awareness and prevention of suicide that seems so common in today’s society. A warning that for some it may be too heart breaking to watch the affects of suicide in this film. We see an acting side of Stewart few have seen. In Twilight he always had a smile on his face. Here we see sorrow, pain, even anger in this young actor’s face. It shows great versatility in an actor of his age. I encourage others to watch this film. I hope that you can find hope to deal with the pain you may be facing. I also pray that for those that struggle that you will find support and be able to let go when you can find the answers or the answers you find are not the ones you seek. ~CeCe |
