The Road to Edmond (2018)

The Road to Edmond: Directed by David Trotter. With Nathanael Welch, Tripp Fuller, Sarah Reeve, Alexia George. Cleo loves his life as a youth pastor in suburban Denver, but his genuine support for a teenage girl has put his job in jeopardy. When the church’s Elder Board becomes aware of the situation, he’s asked to take two weeks off to consider his actions and the impact on his role in ministry. Distraught by the arrival of this news via email, Cleo grabs a backpack and bike to hit the road and figure out what’s really true. His journey takes a turn toward Edmond, Oklahoma, when he hitches a ride from a mysterious traveler named Larry and his dead father. Larry’s intense skepticism along with a string of peculiar signs causes Cleo to question more than his relationship with the teen…he questions the very existence of Love.

“This is about as good as you could ask for, in terms of a film wrestling with questions of faith in an honest, intellectually sincere, and humane manner. If a film about Christian faith isnu0026#39;t your jam, youu0026#39;ll still likely be surprised; if it is, youu0026#39;re in for a treat.”
