REVIEW
F
ranklin Baumann (Jon Gries,
Taken) is a well respected
politician running for congress.
But after 17 year old high-school student
Steve Bellafiore (Cameron Palatas, Zach
Stone Is Gonna Be Famous) recognizes that
Franklin’s campaign is built upon hatred,
intolerance, and exclusion, he decides to
run for Congress himself. So with the help
of his family, friends, and classmates, he
starts a campaign - Operation Pass the
Light - that promotes kindness, love, and
acceptance without judgement, and strives
to make a real difference in his community.
Pass The Light is a fantastic movie! It is
highly entertaining and extremely well
made. In addition, it poignantly addresses a
number of issues that are currently hot
topics (especially in the church) that often
drive a wedge between people and their
ideologies/beliefs - homosexuality,
bullying, broken marriages, judging others,
unemployment, and more. After watching
the movie I was left thinking about it for
days thereafter. And I think that’s a sign of
a great movie… one that stays with you.
