Phil Robertson: ‘If Redemption Can Happen For Me, It Can Happen For Any Of Us’
By Movieguide® Contributor
DUCK DYNASTY’s Phil Robertson thanked God for the impact He has had on his life in a recent Facebook post.
Robertson struggled with substance abuse and other issues when he was younger. Those struggles will be shown in THE BLIND, an upcoming biographical movie about Robertson’s faith journey.
He posted a new trailer for THE BLIND, as well as a message thanking the Lord for changing his life.
“I’m thankful every day that Jesus changed my life and Miss Kay stuck by me through bad times and worse,” Robertson wrote, referring to his wife of 57 years. “She’s the best woman there is, and I love her.”
Robertson continued, “If redemption can happen for me, it can happen for any of us. It’s hard for me to see what I once was, but I want you to know there’s hope for us all.”
THE BLIND will premiere in theaters September 28.
Movieguide® previously reported on THE BLIND’s production:
Production has wrapped on the upcoming Phil Robertson biopic, THE BLIND.
Distribution plans are still being finalized, but THE BLIND is set to release in theaters September 22, 2023.
The movie, set in the Deep South in the 1960s, tells the story of Robertson’s life, including his struggles with addiction.
“This movie shows me at my worst moments. It wasn’t easy for me to watch, especially at first,” Robertson said. “But The Blind is also a movie about love and hope. If a scoundrel like me can be redeemed, then believe me, so can you. There’s nothing you’ve done that’s beyond God’s grace.”
“It was important to us that the film be real,” said Willie Robertson, Robertson’s son. “The transformation of Phil proves that anyone can change and that there is always hope.”
