Faith-Based Movie Coming To Theaters June 17, “A Father’s Legacy” Examines The Heart of Father-Son Relationships
A Father’s Legacy is definitely not your typical faith-based film. It’s a gritty, yet inspirational story that touches on family, redemption, and loyalty as it follows a young man (Jason Mac) on the run after an armed robbery. Hiding from the law, he sets out to find the father he never knew. Venturing further away from the city streets, he finds himself at the secluded home of a stranger (Tobin Bell). As the days pass and the secrets about their past are revealed, they learn that they might not have been looking for each other…but they may have been brought together for a reason.

“This film was born out of one of the most difficult times in my life,” says Mac. “My father was my protector; a guardian I knew would always be there, and then one day he wasn’t. The loss forced me to look inside and really explore what it was to be a father. Too many young men have no male role model growing up. I hope this film inspires other men to give hope, ’to be there’.”
The film examines topics such as:
- Father/son relationships
- The ripple effect our actions have on others
- Legacy and responsibility
- Learning to trust
- The importance of family – in all shapes and forms
The film will be in theaters as a Fathom Event on June 17, just before Father’s Day. Over 600 theaters have already committed to show the film, and possibly more to jump on board between now and then.
