Hiding in Plain Sight

The message was heartfelt, but the acting was awful- forced and stiff.

To see the real struggle of the Blackmon family on the screen was amazing. So many times in life when we are obedient to God, we find ourselves facing challenges. It makes us question God and our path. The Blackmon family held on to their faith and each other. The bond between this husband and wife was to be modeled. The circumstances didn't tear them apart, it made them stronger. M. Legend Brown pulled out of these characters emotions that had a lasting effect on me for weeks. This movie portrayed the inner struggle of Christians in a way that was familiar to many of us. This is the story before the glory yet it's hardly ever shown. Kudos to the cast and crew for putting together such an awesome movie!!

My husband and I attended the September 15th viewing of "Hiding in Plain Sight" and absolutely enjoyed it. It wasn't just about select families falling on hard times, rather it was about so much more. It fleshed out the stories of "real people" living day to day...that had...at some point and still do...the same dreams all of us on the other side of homelessness possess. We felt for these characters, emotionally and spiritually. It shed a serious light and gave pause for an even more serious dialogue for how close we ALL are to homelessness and what each of us can do...from our own vantage points to help remedy this ever-growing epidemic. Do yourself a Huge Favor and Go See and Support this Worthwhile Film!!!

Hiding in Plain Sight is a story that may not be very foreign to those reading this review. A tale (based on real experiences) of a family effected by the recent economic crises. Kelly O'Neil Jackson gives a riveting performance as Darius Blackmon...trying to make a way for his wife and two children. Its a story of true love, compassion and faith. This is a MUST SEE movie. You will leave the theater with a sense of gratitude but also a true need to do for those less fortunate. Beautifully directed by M. Legend Brown. He has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Get out to see this film and request that it be screened in your city! --- MUST SEE/NEED TO SEE---
