Can a movie

change the

world?

No, but a person who sees it can!

To Save A Life is a Hollywood-directed indie movie about the real-life challenges of teens and their choices. It’s the kind of movie youth workers, parents and student leaders can get behind: a project inspired by a passion to reach teenagers with life-affirming entertainment. To Save A Life dives into raw youth culture and dares to ask our youth: “What’s your life going to be about?”

But it’s more than just a movie—it’s a feature-length film with follow-up opportunities like a youth group curriculum, a teen devotional, a parenting study and a church-wide campaign centered around the biblical concept that we’re never more like Jesus than when we’re reaching out to the hurting and lonely.

Movie Synopsis:

Jake and Roger grew up as best friends.

But in high school, Jake becomes a star athlete who has it all: a college scholarship and the perfect girl, an ideal life that comes at the exclusion of his childhood friend.

Meanwhile, Roger no longer fits in anywhere and becomes tired of always being pushed aside. He makes a tragic move that spins Jake’s world out of control. As Jake searches for answers, he begins a journey that will change his life forever.
