Pioneer Films in cooperation with the Ayala Malls Cinemas and Radyo Veritas will hold an advance screening of the movie “The Shack” on Saturday, February 25, 2017, 7:00pm at the Greenbelt 1 Cinema 1.
The Shack is a movie directed by Stuart Hazeldine base on the New York Times best-selling Christian novel written by Canadian author William P. Young, published in 2007.
The Shack is a story of a father’s uplifting spiritual journey. After having a family tragedy, the character Mack Phillips played by Sam Worthington will suffer a deep depression causing him to question his faith.
In amidst of his grief, he receives a suspicious letter inviting him to go to an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Despite his doubts, Mack goes to the shack where he encounters a mysterious trio of strangers led by a woman named Papa [Octavia Spencer]. Here, Mack gets important answers to his questions that will transform his understanding of his tragedy and change his life forever.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Robert Barron known for his Word on Fire ministry was impressed on the novel and even said that he would recommend it to Catholics who’ve gone through a lot of suffering.
“The novel portrayed that God is love. Also, that God is not a distant power as in theism, but God is someone who knows us intimately or personally…and God is someone to whom we can talk as a friend,” Bishop Barron said.
He also added that the biblical theme that is visible all throughout the novel is that people are called upon to trust God, even if no one can see what He’s doing.
The movie will hit theaters on March 3, 2017.
