The film, sponsored by <a href=3D"https://community.el= ca.org/page.redir?target=3Dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.thrivent.com%2f&srcid=3D128= 067&srctid=3D1&erid=3D27556732&trid=3D10170a07-90e2-4a29-8324-2= 96f7a15dfae" target=3D"_blank">Thrivent</a> and in collaboration with the E= LCA, is available for use as a Reformation anniversary activity. <br><br><s= trong>About the movie</strong><br>The film vividly portrays the key moments= in Luther=E2=80=99s story: the lightning storm that nearly killed him, the= bleak self-punishment of his time in the monastery, the theological breakt= hrough that reset Christian thought and his ongoing drive to reconnect the = church to its original anchor. <br><br>Along the way, viewers will learn of= Luther's enormous cultural impact as a champion for the dignity of eve= ryday work and as a popularizer of the ideas that would morph into a renewe= d understanding of the freedom we have in Christ. <br><br>In a quest for au= thenticity, the movie was filmed in the castles, monasteries and cobbleston= e streets of eastern Europe. Luther scholars were involved in all aspects o= f the production to further ensure historical accuracy, including ELCA theo= logians Richard Perry, Kirsi Stjerna, Mary Jane Haemig, Kathryn Johnson, Ja= ne Strohl, Mark Tranvik, Vitor Westhelle and Timothy Wengert. Every sentenc= e Luther speaks in the film is taken from his writings, talks and sermons.<= br> <br><strong>Movie-showing opportunities</strong><br>The movie presents = a unique outreach opportunity for members to invite friends and neighbors t= o a community gathering =E2=80=93 a possible first step in learning more ab= out the Lutheran tradition. <br><br>You are invited to add this theatrical = release to your congregation=E2=80=99s Reformation anniversary events, whet= her at a local theater or in a venue of your choice.

You just fill out a form online =E2=80= =93 choosing a date, time and theater. All the logistics are then handled b= y the distribution company (called Tugg). There is no cost to your congrega= tion to set-up a screening, however, <strong>attendees purchase their own t= ickets</strong>.
