“We made this film to inspire, challenge and motivate viewers to follow Jesus wholeheartedly,” said Kendrick. “Our hope is that audiences around the world will recognize the pivotal role that Godly mentorship plays in shaping the next generation.”
Currently inspiring audiences with a rare A+ CinemaScore and perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, The Forge is the latest hit film from Affirm and Provident Films.
“It is an honor to partner with the Kendrick Brothers to bring another powerful story to movie screens that will impact people and glorify Jesus,” said Shirer. “The theme of discipleship is near and dear to my heart, especially as a mom to three boys. My prayer is that this film will inspire parents to pray fervently for their children and for the mentors that God will use to impact their lives.”
The Forge is now playing at an ever-growing list of theaters across the country.
