The central question of PASTOR BROWN is “What do you do when life
gives you another chance?”

PASTOR BROWN easily moves viewers from unexpected tears to genuine
laughter. The movie validates the viewer, letting her know that
redemption is available no matter how far she may have strayed in her
life. The film examines our central family connections – mother/son,
father/daughter, sister/sister. And, it models the key ingredient for
making those relationships work: Forgiveness – forgiveness of others
and most importantly, forgiveness of oneself.
