"Rescue Us" - New Movie in Development

I am following the development of a new movie being readied for production by Grace Pictures in Las Vegas, Nevada. The film is called “Rescue Us” and is the first feature film project of a film ministry headed by Peggy Chaves called Grace Pictures.

“Rescue Us” is an inspirational story that takes you from recovery to Redemption. The plan for this movie is that it will touch the lives of anyone who suffers or knows someone who suffers from alcoholism or other addictions. The story takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, otherwise known as “sin city,” where alcohol and gambling is all around you. Only by grace, through faith, can this family be saved.

Here’s a little summary of the plot:

Joshua, an private airline pilot, has a beautiful wife and a son, named Sammy, who he would give his life for. When Sammy was first born something very tragic happened and Joshua did not know how to deal with it. He never imagined that things could get any worse until the day Sammy was diagnosed. There’s only one thing that Josh feels he needs to take away his pain, for a time.

Josh and his wife Beth would enjoy a drink now and then; but Beth didn’t realize how much he was drinking until she catches him in some lies. When she finds out, she pleads with him to get help but he refuses to accept that there's a problem. In order to protect herself and Sammy she asks Josh to leave.

Joshua finds himself on the streets and meets one person who gives him two choices. Josh’s ultimate decision will affect him and his family for the rest of their lives.

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14 (NIV). One in four households are affected by addiction. “Rescue Us” … the cry of each one is the same.
