What if you created a documentary called
IN THE BEGINNING, that was told exclusively by those who were there?

Where is there?

The remarkable story of WordPerfect Corporation from its inception, through becoming the best-selling and most popular word processing software in the world.
That was the beginning that didn't last once placed into the hands of Bill Gates and Microsoft.

But what if it was still "In The Beginning" of something yet to come?

So what are some things that really happen at our film festival?

Hebrews 13:3: Believers are instructed, "Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."

Breaking Strongholds Season 2, Episode 1 "The Mission" will be screened this year.

Why is that important?

Because the year Carla McDougal came to an online meet up, she met Roxanne from Greenapple entertainment. Roxanne heard Carla's dream to get distribution into all the prisons in Texas. She introduced her to someone who helped her get it into all the prisons in the USA
To date there have been
