What You Need To Know:

AMERICA’S HEART AND SOUL is a beautifully photographed ode to the best in America, a celebration of the good and of faith. This captivating documentary introduces us to individuals around the country, from one of the last cowboys in Colorado to a dairy farmer to a blind mountain climber. AMERICA’S HEART AND SOUL presents captivating portraits of people full of faith and values. It teaches us something about America and something about the soul. One of the stories is about Mosie Brook, who had to take care of her younger siblings after her mother died. She would work and cook all night and then go to bed praying for miracles; the next morning, God would provide through a loving neighbor or unknown benefactor.

These stories are uplifting and inspirational, and the Gospel songs, as well as the other music, are faithful and terrific. It is hard to sustain a documentary full of vignettes, but there are very few moments that lag in this movie. Most of it tugs at the heartstrings, and the photography is superb. This is a courageous movie to distribute and should make everyone who sees it stand up and cheer for America.
