The films we have selected promote good values and can lead to discussion at home that develops the spiritual gifts of wisdom and understanding. That being said, the films will vary in content as we attempt to offer a wide variety of films that will reach people of all ages. It is YOUR responsibility as a parent or guardian to determine whether or not a film is appropriate for your child.
