"Facing the Giants"

October 11, 2006

The inspirational movie “Facing the Giants” enjoyed an impressive weekend at the box office after its recent release. Made on a shoestring budget of $100,000 by a group of churchgoers with no film experience, “Giants” grossed $2.7 million in 10 days and is “showing no signs of slowing down,” according to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. The film, about a high school football team that turns to God for encouragement, was written by an associate pastor and originally financed by the Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. The film’s Christian themes earned it a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association because it was considered “too evangelistic.”
