I Still Believe- A Movie About Hope in Loss
Plenty of films exist in order to exemplify moments where people maintain their faith through tragedy. This film is one that follows along with that idea heavily through the eyes of a man experiencing loss. The movie is a Christian biographical drama, so it shows how strong someone’s beliefs can be, especially at the worst places in their lives. Love and loss are two of the biggest factors when it comes to someone’s beliefs in something. This movie shows what could happen if both of these things happen to someone.
‘I Still Believe’ tells the story of singer-songwriter Jeremy Camp and his first wife, Melissa Lynn Henning-Camp. Melissa was diagnosed, just before they were married, with ovarian cancer. Sadly for the couple, she passed away not too much later, but this film is inspired by their story. The effects of the diagnosis on their love lives and their faith throughout the entire experience are what the movie focuses on. This journey of love and loss is one that shows that belief can help people get through the worst things they will ever experience.
The movie is directed by the Erwin Brothers, Andrew and Jon Erwin, who have directed movies such as ‘Woodlawn,’ ‘October Baby,’ ‘Moms’ Night Out,’ and ‘I Can Only Imagine.’ ‘I Still Believe’ stars KJ Apa, Britt Robertson, Shania Twain, Melissa Roxburgh, and Gary Sinise. The film was written by Jon Erwin, Jon Gunn, and Madeline Carrol, based off of the lives of Jeremy camp and his first wife, Melissa Lynn Henning-Camp.
