All too often we hear the word "journey" applied to the story of someone's life, and when it comes to the story of Samuel Allen, as depicted in the movie Southern Gospel, no word is more fitting. Following a successful limited theatrical run, on Easter Sunday UPtv will present the film's world television broadcast premiere. Inspired by Allen's true story, it follows the rock 'n' roll-loving son of a pastor, who after rebelling and realizing his rock 'n' roll dream, returns to the church in search of redemption and hopefully change the status quo. "His journey, I think, is one that so many people can relate to," admitted actor Max Ehrich, who portrays Allen. "The film is a specific period piece, and yes, he did delve into drugs, alcohol and that rock star lifestyle, but he then transitioned into finding a sense of peace within.
