SYNOPSIS: Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets have to offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.

 

When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God … and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That takes courage.

 

THEATRICAL RELEASE:

COURAGEOUS will release in theaters nationwide on Sept. 30, 2011.

COURAGEOUS is rated PG-13.

 

SHERWOOD DISTINCTIVES:

- Movies with a message that create a movement. Focusing on the need for godly fathers, COURAGEOUS partners with numerous similarly focused national groups to transform the film's message into action.

- Films founded on prayer. Sherwood Pictures Executive Producer Michael Catt, Executive Producer Jim McBride, Producer Stephen Kendrick, and Director Alex Kendrick don't just assume they'll make the next film. They pray about it and only move out when sensing God's direction.

- With exceptions for specific technical needs, and a handful of professional actors in primary roles, cast and crew are volunteers and non-professional.
