Sword Philippines and Asia Pacific Media Ministries teamed up to bring the full-length feature evangelistic film for youth and young adults. It is a story of hope and redemption.
Conceived
to address the pressing problems of today�s youth, �Rebound� deals with
feelings of self-worth, the complexities of parent-child relationships,
peer pressure, drugs, pre-marital sex and the toll they take on young
lives. Far from being a negative paean to these problems, however,
�Rebound� provides possible solutions and positive alternatives.
Noel
is a small town basketball hotshot who goes to the big city to make a
name for himself. but superstardom goes to his head and the pressure
drives him to drugs. Noel is arrested and serves time in jail where he
eventually finds God -- and himself.
After six years, Noel
returns home � repentant, reformed and eager make amends with those he
has hurt, primarily his disillusioned and hopeless father and his
girlfriend, Donna whom he has abandoned in her time of great need.
There he meets a group of aspiring but undisciplined basketball players
led by the current town hotshot, Rey. Noel sees himself in this group
and is convinced that they do not have to go through the same mistakes
he committed.
This DVD is in wide use around the Philippines. It is being used in evangelistic film showings in schools, colleges, prisons, and town plazas. Every where it is shown, people are able to identify with the story and respond to the message of hope it contains.
