O Som da Fé

Sothern Gospel is an amazing inspiring story. This movie is extremely well written and keeps you engaged since the beginning. Never surrender the dream God has given you even in the midst of hardship and trials is one of the main topics of this movie. Furthermore, it is inspiring to see how God's plans are revealed in the main character's life and how the dream becomes a reality even though they had to overcome hard times. Additionally, the cinematography, acting and singing is amazing and beyond my expectations for an independent film. It is worth the watch even if you are not a believer or religious.

I have seen it two times already, recommended it to family and friends from different states which all agree this is a fantastic inspiring movie. Plan on seeing it a third time before it is removed from theaters.

When is the soundtrack being released? The majority of the songs are also original and created by the director, Jeffery Smith.

Never surrender the dream!

It's a wonderful mix of joy, suspense, pain, forgiveness, hopelessness, restoration, and faith. When there seems to be no justice, that's where faith comes in. I only gave it seven stars because lead actor was a little lacking in his acting abilities and his lip-synching. It's a little low budget, but the story makes up for it and makes it a truly satisfying experience in the end. If you keep an open mind and hang in there, it's a truly encouraging story that reminds us, God loves even the least of us sinners, that he loves us more than we can imagine, and that he will never give up on us! Because there's always hope.

Loved this film! Based on true events, this film is inspiring and touches the heart. Love the music and the actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters. Very believable and well written. We need more films like this one. If you feel like you have a dream but obstacles are many, watch this film and let it ignite a fire in you to never give up on that dream. It's a story of redemption and hope. I highly recommend you see this film and then share your experience with others. It will be money well spent and I promise you, you will leave the theater with new intention to keep pressing forward towards your dream.

... but, until that story is written someday in the far future, this will do nicely. A tale of a young man with a talent for music but also has a passion for faith. Who carries his Bible with him everywhere. And has many adventures along the way, but ultimately returns to what he loves best. Preaching. To tell the truth, the absolute highest compliment you can give to a faith-based movie is that it does not make a fuss about its roots. This project from writer/director Jeff Smith has an almost two hour run-length, and it fills the time quite nicely. (And passes the Roger Ebert test, you don't look at your watch even once.) As an indie project, it is above average in every aspect. Tight script, solid casting, acting, and direction. Even the music is solid. In fact, you might even wish there was more of it. Recommended. And very under-appreciated. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

There are a lot of incredible faith-based films out there. However, this movie is completely unique in it's approach to telling a Christian story that is not cookie cutter or even PG. It's refreshing to watch a faith-based film that is written in a way that's honest and doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of someone's life. The cinematography is top notch, the acting and singing is great and then knowing on top of all of that that this is a true story just makes this movie incredibly impactful for the viewer. This movie is not like the rest and is certainly worth the watch, whether you're religious or not! 10/10!
