It’s the patriotic time of the year. Memorial Day has just passed. Now we approach Flag Day, June 14, and the big celebration, Independence Day, July 4.
Sandwiched in between our patriotic celebrations will be the release of a new full-length film dramatizing the story of the miracles that produced America. It highlights the ironies, the accidents of history and the blessings from God that have enabled the America we know and now enjoy.
"The American Miracle: Our Nation Is No Accident" will play in Alabama theaters from June 9 to June 11.
The official description reads:
‘The American Miracle – Our Nation is No Accident’ will take its audience on a journey through some of the most significant events in America’s rise to prosperity and power, reliving the improbabilities and amazements that demonstrate what the Founders always believed: that events unfolded according to a master plan, with destiny playing an unmistakable role in lifting the nation to historic significance.

George Washington lived through it and led through it. He knew it. Our American Revolution was not just a miracle; it was a series of miracles. This docudrama was inspired by New York Times bestselling author Michael Medved’s book of the same title. His exciting, entertaining, and edifying motion picture experience is being created in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next year.
The history of the American Experiment is a fabric woven of countless instances of improbable, unimaginable success. Whether it is the supernatural protection that surrounded George Washington throughout his life, the mysterious weather conditions that favored the movements of the Continental Army at critical battlefield junctures, or, the unique longstanding success of a revolution unlike any other in recorded world history, it is difficult, nearly impossible, to explain the outcome of any of these, and so many more events like them, without allowing for divine intervention. In his first inaugural speech President George Washington described it as, the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men.”
Is "The American Miracle" a movie about history? Or theology? Or nostalgia? Or drama?
Yes. It is.
