A must-watch film for all

“The Forge” is a very beautiful movie❤️ A must-watch for everyone, but especially for mentors, young men, single moms of young men, and men and women who want to pour into the lives of our children. I liked the young actor’s portrayal. His reactions and delivery was very realistic.

Loving Without Judging Lending a Helping Hand

This was a well written movie. I pray there is a second and third part. It was thought provoking and I would take every young male in my family to see this movie. I immediately called my son and grandson and told them to go see the movie. I enjoyed this movie almost as much as I did The War Room. Very good tear juking movie. A must SEE👀

Very Uplifting

This movie is about the power of prayer, forgiveness, and about being a positive role model and mentor. It reminded me of some people I know. I am in my 60s and I saw this movie with my mother-in-law. We both loved it! I can't wait until it is streamed so that I can watch it again. We sat a couple of seats down from a man who was watching the movie by himself. There were parts of the movie that had all 3 of us all crying (happy) tears. When we left the movie, we were talking with some other women who were there. They all said that they cried too. So be sure to bring tissue if you see it. There's no violence and no nudity or cussing that I can think of. This movie is like real life or like the way life SHOULD be. And be sure to stay for the credit scene. It puts a nice little bow on the story.
