“BREAKTHROUGH” Is The Latest Testament Of Mother's Boundless Love And The Power Of Prayer

The adage “love and prayers can move mountains” once again proves true in the upcoming “Breakthrough” faith-based movie which is also based true events.

Considered by its filmmakers a “modern-day resurrection story”, “Breakthrough” puts the power of prayer and a mother’s undying love for her son at the core of the movie when a boy was pronounced dead but defied experts when he miraculously came back to life after her mother uttered an earnest prayer.

Also produced by basketball star Stephen Curry, “Breakhtrough” is based on a true story of a mother, Joyce Smith (from whose book initially published as “The Impossible” the movie was based), who prayed her son back to life after he fell through a frozen lake and died and how this miracle impacted an entire community. John Smith was underneath the ice for 15 minutes, with no oxygen. When EMS workers rescued him, he had no pulse. They rushed him to the emergency room and worked on him for another 45 minutes. The doctors could not bring him back to life.

Faith-Based Movie BREAKTHROUGH opens April 10

An extraordinary and timely feature before Easter from 20th Century Fox, “Breakthrough” is based on the inspirational true story of one mother’s unfaltering love in the face of impossible odds in recent history.  When Joyce Smith’s adopted son John falls through an icy Missouri lake, all hope seems lost. But as John lies lifeless, Joyce refuses to give up. Her steadfast belief inspires those around her to continue to pray for John’s recovery, even in the face of every case history and scientific prediction.
