On June 5, I still believe in it, available for digital purchase and on June 26 on VOD. This unnamed film should not leave you indifferent.
The story of singer Jeremy Camp and Melissa Lynn Henning is deeply moving. When you know what they went through, you understand why their love has been adapted to the screen. I still believe in highlights the fight of a lifetime, that against disease. It was at the university that the singer met Melissa. If some people have doubts about lightning strikes, their love is proof that they exist. Their feelings were steadfast and their hopes were shattered when Melissa discovered that she had ovarian cancer. But nothing stopped Jeremy from being there for the one he loves. The film thus retraces the way in which they fought, body and soul, in the face of this scourge. The chemotherapy, the side effects and the emotional charge only strengthened their love. Jeremy Camp never doubted: Melissa was the woman of her life.
And despite the fragility of his beloved, he married her. Despite the reluctance of those around them and the tragedy that followed, their union took place. Melissa Camp died at the age of 21. If this loss will remain the greatest drama in Jeremy Camp's life, he will never regret this precious meeting. It is this quiet strength, this conviction in his love that are transcribed in I still believe in it. K.J Apa, star of the Riverdale series, had the difficult task of interpreting singer Jeremy Camp. However, the challenge is largely taken up and the actor's play is very sensitive. Each song by the singer, taken up and interpreted by K.J Apa himself, accompanies this story as singular as it is poignant. Britt Robertson, in the role of Melissa Camp, and form an iconic duo.
I still believe in will undoubtedly be one of those films that go back in time. Like the relationship between Jeremy and Melissa, the feature film directed by the Erwin Brothers is a real inspiration because its dimension is universal. This history touches in a remarkable way all the ages, all the times and absolutely everywhere.
I still believe in is therefore a musical work but above all an ode to love and hope available for digital purchase on June 5 and on VOD on June 26.
