Brave The Dark

From Variety (Joe Leydon) –

“Based on the real-life experiences of co-writer and co-executive producer Nathaniel Deen, who appears at the end to bestow his approval on the dramatization and invite the audience to take its lessons to heart, “Brave the Dark” is a low-key inspirational indie that sensitively elicits empathy and sympathy without ever pushing too hard or simplifying complexities.”

This incredible story highlights how much one person can impact and improve the life of one person.  It is a powerful story about the importance of teachers and the potential of a human life – or two!

From RogerEbert.com (Clint Worthington) –

“Angel Studios’ mission statement is to release films that “amplify light”; if they keep to simple stories like this, I might just start to believe them.”
“These are feel good stories based on true acts of undersung kindness that are kind of hard to impeach, even as it’s tempting to question the motives of a studio built on ideological goals of preaching to the evangelical choir. But “Brave the Dark” rarely succumbs to that kind of proselytizing: a crucifix prominently hangs on the rear-view mirror of a car in flashback, and Harris’ Deen clasps his hands and closes his eyes in a moment of not-quite-prayer at the film’s lowest moments. That’s it. It’s content instead to be a movie about a real-life Good Samaritan, and an honest one at that.”
