"The Current" independent Christian family movie from ii Films -- last showing!

The Current is the story of 13-year-old Jake Larson, who lives in Chicago and loves everything about his life there when his parents decide that city violence is hitting too close to home.  Wanting to raise their children in a better environment, Jake’s parents make the life-changing decision to move the family from Chicago to a campground in rural Minnesota.  At the campground, a rebellious young Jake meets Peter -- the boy from the farm across the river.  The two form a fast friendship that God uses to transform Jake's life in ways that Jake never could have imagined.

Filmed by volunteer cast and crew.  Given 5 of 5 Doves from The Dove Foundation; Dove Seals for Family-Approved and Faith-Friendly (Ages 12+).  Calling The Current an “inspirational” and

“remarkable” film, the Dove Foundation review states, “For anyone who has

struggled in life, this movie offers hope!”
   Official Selection in upcoming International Christian Film Festival.  Features music from popular Christian bands Calling Glory, 3 Shades of Blue, Lightswitch, VOTA, and True Identity. 

  • “That was the best family movie I
    have ever seen. What a GREAT message! I laughed a little and cried a
    little."
  • “My kids 10 and 13 LOVED it. My daughter 13 said it was her new favorite movie and we have to buy it! :) Thank you for a clear and powerful message for my kids to understand and relate to!”
