What they’re saying:
“‘Healing River’ isn’t just a great Catholic or Christian film; it’s a great drama with Christian DNA. The script, acting, and music are all top-notch. Most importantly, it’s true to life. This isn’t a Hollywood production, but it could have been!”
— Dan Andriacco, The Catholic Telegraph
“The message of redemption, forgiveness and mercy coming from and through our Lord Jesus Christ in this movie is one of great importance, especially in our troubled world hungry for a message of hope and courage. Well done!”
— Fr. Patrick McMullen, St. Therese Catholic Parish, Cincinnati, OH
“I am overwhelmed with what I received and am taking away from ‘Healing River.’ The film was powerful on so many levels, both spiritually and emotionally. I’m blown away. Excellent!”
— Rev. Dennis Hall, Associate Pastor, College Hill Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, OH
