Just this week we talked to the co-writer and director of the upcoming film "Facing the Giants" Brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick wrote, produced, and directed it. Alex also plays the lead. Stephen and Alex Kendrick are the media and teaching pastors at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany GA.
The movie was given a PG rating because of it's Christian content. Congressman Roy Blunt has stepped in to ask why, by sending a letter to the MPAA Chief.
From the letter: "This month, it has been widely reported that MPAA gave a PG rather than G rating to the moving Facing the Giants, apparently solely because the movie contained Christian themes. This incident raises the disquieting possibility that MPAA considers exposure to Christian themes more dangerous for children than exposure to gratuitous sex and mindless violence."
You can read the entire letter here. My thanks to Congressman Blunt for providing PowerBlog! a copy of the letter.
