The Least Among You
“The Least Among You”, starring Cedric Sanders, Lauren Holly, Louis Gossett Jr., and William Devane and directed by Marc Young. Is a true story about an African-American named Richard Kelly who overcame adversity by surrendering his life to Christ. After being wrongfully accused, Richard Kelly is forced to enroll in an all white seminary school during an era segregation/desegregation. Through his journey you see his selfish dreams replaced a God-given destiny.
This movie teaches many biblical principles, forgiveness, walking by faith and trusting God despite circumstances, loving, and surrendering one’s self to Christ. I found it very inspirational and encouraging to see a man overcome racism, hate, violence, drugs, etc through Jesus Christ despite his imperfections. Though he was not alone, God placed men and women to encourage and help direct him in the right direction.
I personally found the movie challenging me to continue to surrender my life to Christ and trust in Him no matter the circumstances life throws my way. It grabbed my attention early on and kept my attention throughout the movie…always rooting for Richard to succeed. I would recommend this movie to others to watch. Though due to some violence, racism, and drugs references you may want to watch first before allowing your younger children to see it.
