A Film With A Heart of Gold

Second Samuel invites us to consider what community really means and how our own traditions and personal biases can erode its true definition. Carried out on a familiar southern backdrop in days gone by, it's amazing to see the parallels to life as we know it today. The film illustrates how our differences can unite and divide us at the same time, which is a sentiment that speaks ever so loudly in light of recent events.

The main character of the film is an unlikely hero whose unapologetic love for his fellow man proves to be a refreshing change to the traditional superhero figures of today's films. Raw, youthful, and untainted kindness and respect shine through as superpowers and I was certainly along for the hero's journey.

Everything about this film from what was caught on screen to the passion, faith, and hope of its filmmakers makes this film a must-see. If you're looking for a film with a heart of gold, look no further. Second Samuel truly shines.

Timely and Heartwarming

To have been filmed 2 years ago, it's amazing how timely the release is today. This movie touches on race, special needs and so much more. Everyone has a secret -- "Are you going to be a pharisee or are you going to #LoveYourNeighbor?"

Timely Story

The movie differs quite a bit on some level from the stage play, but it is mostly true to the original stage version. This is a story that was written 30 years ago, takes place even longer ago, and yet somehow it is absolutely timely today. This movie is worth the watch. You'll laugh and cry... and you might learn something while you do that. It's a love letter to a diverse world on so many levels and yet Pamela Parker has managed to tell the tale with loads of humor sparked with love. If the play is in production near you, by all means go see that as well. On stage, it's even more personal and more touching. Enjoy the little jewel of an indie movie. There's so much to love about it.
