It’ll be of little surprise to you to know that this double major in college loves few things more than true passionate narratives of American true stories. Including, “The Hopeful,” a new film directed by Kyle Portbury, Emmy® Award-winning, 3-time Australian Directors Guild nominated writer and director of Resistance and Sojourner Truth, produced by Bin Li, Kyle Portbury, Martin Thorne, along with Mighty Sound, Hope Studios, Longstocking Studios, Kyle Portbury Films, and Spectrum Films, and written by Aaron Hartzler and H.G. Sloan, set in mid-nineteenth century America, tells of the harrowing early origins of the Seventh Day Adventist Church-a must-see in theatres on April 17th & 18th, 20204.

This film details William Miller’s life, a man whose faith is in ruins. After surviving a fierce battle in the War of 1812, Miller questions the validity of God having spared his own life. Searching for wisdom leads Miller to an internalized prophesy–the world was ending as he knew it. The Hopeful portrays Miller’s life, from the perspective of a man burdened with the knowledge of Christ’s return, his mission to evangelize his message to others, and coping with the scorn of his fledgling congregationalism.

Midway through this film, a young woman named Ellen Harmon, is transformed by Miller’s sermons. Through said sermons, Harmon’s preaching style grows into a holistic vision of how Christians should live and worship. Who, together with Miller, helps to create the Seventh-day Adventist Church. “The Hopeful,” set in the picturesque New England landscape, within the rich culture of the American mid-19th century, invites audiences of all ages to imagine who, and how, they could help change the world.
