During Centurion's mission, his doubts of such a supernatural occurrence peel away as he encounters the Apostles and other historic biblical characters and bears witness to the legendary storied events that followed the Resurrection. A great mystery unfolds during Centurion's quest to find the body and he is deeply affected by his first-person investigation, as his previous beliefs on the matter are forever altered based on what he's now witnessed.

A hard-driving journalist, Lee Strobel was exactly where he expected to be at work: on top. His award-winning investigative reporting recently earned him a promotion to legal editor at the Chicago Tribune. But things weren't going nearly as well at home where his wife Leslie's newfound faith in Christ went against everything Lee believed-or didn't believe-as an avowed atheist. Utilizing his journalistic and legal training, Lee begins a quest to debunk the claims of Christianity in order to save his crumbling marriage. Chasing down the biggest story of his career, Lee comes face-to-face with unexpected results that could change everything he knows to be true. Based on Lee Strobel's award-winning bestselling book, it’s an ideal Easter-season movie for anyone who has ever pondered the existence of God ... and what role He could play in their lives.
Trenches of Rock (2017) – Friday 13 April at 6.30pm
Tickets: https://www.eventcinemas.com.au/Movie/Ccff---Trenches-Of-Rock#cinemas=67&date=2018-04-13
An Atlanta Film Festival official selection, Trenches of Rock marks the directorial debut of filmmaker Paul Michael Bloodgood. Executive Produced by Oscar and Grammy winner James Moll (Foo Fighters: Back and Forth), the film depicts the career of 1980s heavy metal band BLOODGOOD, who was targeted not only by a mainstream music industry that found their blatant use of faith-based lyrics an unfitting marriage with heavy metal, but also by Christians who believed their music was the work of the devil. BLOODGOOD became a trailblazer of “Christian Metal,” touring the world and facing adversity head-on while confronted by death threats, picketers and protests of these “metal missionaries.”
