Set in the peak of the 1960s Civil Rights movement, Paul's Promise is the inspiring true story of Paul Holderfield, former racist firefighter-turned-pastor who started one of the first integrated churches in the American South. It’s one man's journey to hope and healing during a troubled time in our Nation's history that resulted in one man's decision to serve God and stand up to injustice -- a story that continues to make a huge impact on the community to this day.

A faith based film about a mother's devotion. Simple story but an effective one. Go to Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media Oct 25, 2022

Stanley Nov 1, 2022 Fantastic show of Faith and Prayer. See more Jill Bowman Nov 1, 2022 This movie was incredible. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing. Best cast ever! We need more of these faith based movies. See more Rosa C Oct 30, 2022 Good film based on a true story. The acting wasn't always great. See more Terry M Oct 28, 2022 good movie for a very challenging time! See more Shirley Oct 27, 2022 I liked the story, but the movie was slow and not much excitement, especially for the price. If I'd been watching at home, I would have quit watching B4 I got mid-way through the movie. See more Sheila Robinson A Oct 27, 2022 Loved it! God truly can change a man’s heart & it truly happened to Paul. An answer to prayer by his beloved mother.. I will recommend this movie 👍 See more Read all reviews
