Exploring Families and Faith During Deployment

Little Boy, which opened in theaters this past weekend, tells the story of a small-town kid who wants to do whatever he can to bring his father home from World War II. He explores faith with his minister, gets guidance from an elderly Japanese man who ends up in an internment camp and tries to pick up a few tricks from a traveling magician. The film has Mark Burnett and Roma Downey as producers and, like their recent faith-based projects like Son of God, it's unapologetically pitched as a family film. The film attracted a strong cast that features Emily Watson, Michael Rapaport, Kevin James and Tom Wilkinson in supporting roles. For more details on the film, see this Military.com article.
