Actor Kirk Cameron considers his new film project, UNSTOPPABLE, one of
the most unique of his entire career. It forms the centerpiece of a live event
at Liberty University on September 24 – and broadcast live via satellite to
theaters around the country.
“It’s by far the most personal project I’ve ever made
regarding my faith,” says Cameron. His motivation to embark on the film stems
from the untimely cancer death of a 15-year-old friend this year. After the
funeral and burial of his friend, Cameron began to reflect on questions
universal to the human experience.
Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering? he wondered. Why does he let bad things happen to good people?
“These are questions that have destroyed many people’s faith and baffle so many,” he notes. His pondering led to the UNSTOPPABLE film, which he believes will “give people hope and inspiration and a reason to continue to trust God through difficulties.”
UNSTOPPABLE will be broadcast to nearly 700 cinemas nationwide from The Vines Center at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. CT and tape delayed at 7:00 p.m. MT / 8:00 p.m. PT/AK/HI. Tickets and theatre locations are available online at www.unstoppablethemovie.com.
The film generated an initial controversy when Facebook and YouTube blocked access to the film’s trailer, labeling it as “unsafe” and “abusive.” Over half a million of Cameron’s fans rallied to protest and after several days, both social media sites relented.
“It’s easy to get excited about your faith when things are going well,” Cameron notes. “But when tragedy hits out of nowhere it can be the thing that destroys your confidence and ability to move forward in life.”
Cameron disagrees with those who believe God either lacks the power to intervene or simply doesn’t care.
