...The movie was No.
1 in the
ratings in New York City, beating
game six of the Stanley
Cup
hockey playoffs, Tim Morgan of
Graham's ministry told
Religion
Today. Thousands of people called
a telephone number that
flashed
on the screen, and 40 percent
made a first-time
decision
to become a Christian, he said. The
film made its world
premiere
at the Acapulco Black Film Festival
this month drawing
"nearly
universal raves" from a secular
audience, Newsweek
magazine
reported.
...Something to Sing
About
is an attempt by Graham's ministry to
broaden its reach to
African
American Christians, who have had a
"decidedly chilly"
response
to Graham films in the past,
according to the
magazine.
Filmmaker Charlie Jordan is the first
black and first woman to
direct
one of Graham's films, which are
made by the ministry's
World
Wide Pictures unit. The storyline
dates to the 1960s when
Graham's
current chief operating officer,
John R. Corts, came
across
a woman in New York who was rescuing
young men from street
life
and leading them to salvation.
