In my opinion, the heat of the summer is the best time to tuck into an air conditioned theater for a few hours. Maybe that’s why so many films debut this time of year.
One I’m especially interested in is Elijah Peel.
Inspired by a true story, it follows a stadium-filling rock star whose fame fuels a destructive lifestyle of excess and addiction. But it all comes to a sudden halt after a heart attack.
During recovery from his near-death experience, Elijah forms an unexpected friendship with a courageous, terminally ill young girl whose fearless hope and words of inspiration spark a spiritual awakening.
It’s got a fabulous original soundtrack with standout tracks including “Life Too Short, Story Too Old,” “River Deep,” “Can You Feel It,” “The Wild Ones,” and “Not an Ordinary Love.” Blending rock, soul, and faith-driven themes, the music serves as a powerful extension of Elijah’s inner life.
