Movies and Videos

Greater, a sports biopic accounting the Arkansas Razorback walk-on offensive lineman Brandon Burlsworth a devoutly Christian man and derided for is portly appearance. He defies the odds to make 1994 squad, developing into an All-American player and top NFL prospect. On Roku, Pluto TV and Peacock.
War Room is the story of a seemingly perfect family who tries to fix their problems with the help of Miss Clara, an older and wiser woman. Never discount the power of prayer. On Tubi, YouTube and Apple TV.
Queen of Katwe, rated PG and A-II. The glorious “Queen of Katwe" (Disney) applies the traditional formula of an uplifting sports drama to the real-life story of a Ugandan chess prodigy. The film then goes in unexpected directions to expose the scars horrific poverty can leave on the human soul.
