Education: Greater Movie About the True Story of Brandon Burlsworth [VIDEO]

About

Greater movie captures the true life story of Brandon Burlsworth, and the film provided a tremendous lens into his life, especially the foundational core and it’s effects — God. His epitaph’s last line reads, “Loss is great, but God is greater.” The film shows not just his work ethic and character but also the reason for it as well as its relationship to life, people, and family. The film just may make you laugh, cringe, and even cry, but the core principle stands true that no matter what happens in life, we trust God.

Product Description

Amazon: ”GREATER follows the true story of Brandon Burlsworth who is perhaps the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. Brandon dreamed of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks but was told he wasn’t good enough to play Division I ball. Undeterred, Brandon took a risk and walked on in 1994. Written off by fellow teammates and coaches, Brandon displayed dogged determination in the face of staggering odds. The awkward kid who once was an embarrassment to his teammates and an annoyance to his coaches ended up becoming the most respected player in the history of the program, changing the lives of all he touched.”

Life: The Intense Story of a Drug and Alcohol User's Overdose

Anchored North shares another film of one’s life story coming to trust in Jesus to live as a Christian — changing into a different person. Anchored North has produced several films so far, and in this film entitled “The Overdose: The Unbelievable Story of an Ecstasy User,” Jeff (now a Christian preacher and pastor), shares about his life before coming to know and trust God, and the details are intense and unbelievable. Jeff grew up in Japan and worked in the martial arts world which included his work for the Ninja Turtles Franchise.

Jeff reveals how he left his wife and family (even new born son) in pursuing more alcohol, cocaine, and ecstasy use. Jeff mentions that the amount of drugs and alcohol increased as seemingly small amounts were like ‘a cup of coffee.’ A trip to Las Vegas and an awful night of drug abuse almost killed him. He prayed to God to heal his overheating body while he was soaking in an ice bath, and in a moment, he also though about giving up. Within a moment of time, the heat went away and his life spared. However, as Jeff says, his life still did not change, and he went back to using.
