SYNOPSIS The eart of Man is a story inviting the sons and daughters of God to leave behind our broken, moralistic and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others.

3 SYNOPSIS The eart of Man is a story inviting the sons and daughters of God to leave behind our broken, moralistic and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others. Once we begin to know who God is (and as a result who we are), we have something to invite the world into. Freedom from performance. Freedom from managing our behavior so we appear acceptable to God. Freedom from our addictions, compulsive behaviors, secrecy and double lives. This film tears the veil of confusion over the church's current identity crisis and enables it to invite the rest of the world to the banquet God is throwing all of us. The film features emotional interviews with real people going through their mess and subsequent healing, and includes expert witnesses of such men as William Paul Young, author of the NY Times best-selling novel The Shack, Dan Allender, Ph.D, author of "The Wounded eart" and Spoken Word Artist Jackie ill Perry. All of that is interwoven with a production-rich prodigal son narrative story shot in awaii. WAT C T E T R A I LER III

Our hope is to see over 30,000 people come out and help us expose the shame that has shackled us for too long, ultimately revealing the face and love of the Father.

4 WAY S T O WAT C We are excited to announce that we will be releasing the film across Australia initially in cinemas. We feel that this is the best way to introduce this powerful and moving presentation on film and can t wait for you to see it on the big screen. Our hope is to see over 30,000 people come out and help us expose the shame that has shackled us for too long, ultimately revealing the face and love of the Father. A successful launch on this date will change the course of the movement in this part of the world enabling us to launch around Australia and New Zealand in a more profound and life changing way that we could hope or imagine. One of the main ways we ll hit this number is if churches get engaged early on and work with us at a local level to ensure everyone knows about our theatrical release of TE EART OF MAN. We encourage group viewing as the movie will be diving into heavy topics that will unearth both pain and beauty these are best processed with people. This movie shines the light on age-old bondages and removes the lid on shame exposing it for what it is. It points to the better yes and our identity as new creations, no longer just saved sinners but saints. It reveals the antidote to shame grace. The grace of the Father for his children and the grace we can have for each other in the midst of our darkest moments.
