Woodlawn – this Friday. Don’t miss it!

By: American Decency Staff

Join us at American Decency headquarters on Friday, January 15 for “Woodlawn” – one of the most inspiring movies I have ever seen!

As a reviewer for The Christian Post wrote about Woodlawn:

The best sports movies aren't even about sports.

Instead, the best sports movies use sports as a backdrop to tell the story of something far more significant and important, something that even non-sports fans can embrace.

Such is the case with "Woodlawn" which recounts the true story of a newly integrated high school football team in Birmingham, Alabama, that is the source of racial tension until most of the players accept Christ and spark a city-wide revival. Set in the early 1970s, "Woodlawn" is the best sports movie I've ever seen, although that label really doesn't do it justice. That's because it's simply a great movie – even without the sports – and it's among the most inspiring and uplifting films I've watched.

This riveting true story of courage, strength, and football at the height of racial tension in Birmingham, Alabama, inspired the motion picture Woodlawn, and tells the story of Coach Tandy Gerelds, his running back Tony Nathan, and a high school football game that healed a city.

Starring Sean Astin ("The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy) as a determined sports chaplain and Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight as legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, "Woodlawn" is one of those movies that wouldn't be believable if it weren't true.

WOODLAWN is more than a movie.  It’s a true story about people changed by love and devotion to Jesus.  It’s time for that to happen again.

Bring your family and friends and come enjoy this inspiring movie!
