By Movieguide® Contributor
In a recent interview with CBN News, DUCK DYNASTY’s Miss Kay Robertson expressed her gratitude and excitement for THE BLIND, which shares her and her husband Phil Robertson’s story.
“I have heard nothing but great, great responses to the movie,” Robertson said. “In fact, I talked to Willie [her son] this morning to find out what it’s made so far, and he made me tear up again…He said, ‘Well you asked me mom. Don’t ask me if you can’t take what the answer is,’ and it just made me tear up. I couldn’t help it. It’s amazing.”
Faithwire reported that THE BLIND earned “more than $16.8 million to become the most successful film in Fathom Events history.”
“From the beginning, we knew how special this film was, and we were eager to support it in the best way possible,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. “Giving the film a longer theatrical run was a great decision for Fathom because of how important it was to bring this message to the fans – it resonated with so many people, which is why THE BLIND has had such staying power.”
During the interview, Robertson also shared how marriages are being restored and people are coming to Jesus through the movie.
“I just can’t believe it…I knew that if people could hear it, see it, learn the story, that we could help people, and so far, you wouldn’t believe how many responses we’ve had about marriages that were broken, they’re going back together, they’re trying to make it work…We’ve heard over and over and over good things that have come from it — people that have come to Jesus that never would [had they not] seen that movie,” she said.
“While THE BLIND may tell the story of the Robertson family’s redemption, as Phil and Kay make clear in the movie – it wasn’t them doing the redeeming. God was the one who redeemed and restored the Robertson family,” the Daily Citizen reported. “And He’s ready and willing to redeem and restore each and every one of us, if we choose to cooperate and turn to Him.”
THE BLIND reveals that God has the power to redeem everyone, and He can do what he did for the Robertsons for anyone.
Movieguide® previously reported on THE BLIND’s impact:
DUCKY DYNASTY patriarch Phil Robertson’s biopic THE BLIND continues to transform lives as many viewers are baptized after seeing the movie.
Christian leader Ethan Drum played the movie for the homeless and witnessed a miraculous response.
“I was like, ‘Why don’t we just bring the movie theater to them?’” he said, per Faithwire. “And so [I] called a friend of mine who owned a production company.”
Many came to view the movie, and 70 people accepted Christ and decided to get baptized. The movie, which portrays Robertson’s struggle with alcohol, infidelity and addiction before finding Jesus, rang true with many viewers.
