011 | The Resurrection of Quality Christian Content with Jesus Revolution Director Jon Erwin

The story is almost one third of the world’s population is Christian, nearly two-thirds of the US population, yet for decades now Hollywood has had an aversion to explicitly Christian films, leaving this audience under-served or suffering with sub-par productions. Why is that and what’s behind the recent resurrection of quality Christian content? 

Jon Erwin is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer known for such films as I Can Only Imagine and this year’s Jesus Revolution. Along with his brother Andrew he is a  co-founder of the Kingdom Story Company, which specializes in the production of Christian films.

Jon is also now an Executive Producer with Truth & Conviction, an inspiring true story which will capture one of the most powerful stories to come out of WWII. Driven by the Nazi arrest of his Jewish friend, a 16-year-old boy named Helmuth Hübener is compelled to take a stand. Joined by his two best mates, Karl and Rudi, Helmuth leads a brave resistance that propels them all the way to the highest court in Nazi Germany. Learn more at angel.com/truth.
