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.”
