I am always on the lookout for family-friendly movies with a positive message. Therefore, I am excited about a new movie coming out on this Friday, March 26: A Week Away.
Synopsis
Troubled teen Will Hawkins (Kevin Quinn) has a choice to make – go to juvenile detention or attend a Christian summer camp. While at camp, and with the help of his music, new friends and love interest (Bailee Madison), he learns the healing powers of kindness, forgiveness, and faith can be found in the most unlikely of places.
As you can see from the trailer, this movie has a musical format. The upbeat and inspirational songs, along with the choreography, seem like they add a lot of energy to the storyline. It is exciting to see that the movie has “reimagined songs” from For King & Country, Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant.
As a Christian, I am interested to see how the movie portrays Christianity through the lens of a Christian summer camp setting. I personally know how powerful “a week away” can be for someone who is searching for answers to life’s questions. My hope is that watching this movie with my kids will open up some meaningful dialogue about the movie’s themes of kindness, forgiveness and faith. Be sure to be on the lookout for A Week Away on Netflix this Friday, March 26!
