Set in the peak of the 1960s Civil Rights movement, Paul's Promise is the inspiring true story of Paul Holderfield, former racist firefighter-turned-pastor who started one of the first integrated churches in the American South. It’s one man's journey to hope and healing during a troubled time in our Nation's history that resulted in one man's decision to serve God and stand up to injustice -- a story that continues to make a huge impact on the community to this day.

A faith based film about a mother's devotion. Simple story but an effective one.

Rated: 6/10

Holdenfield provides a powerful real-life example of someone overcoming harmful mistakes by creating meaningful change. But the presentation of the material feels like it's tailored for White Christian families with teens.

Rated: 2/5

I liked the story, but the movie was slow and not much excitement, especially for the price. If I'd been watching at home, I would have quit watching B4 I got mid-way through the movie.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Loved it! God truly can change a man’s heart & it truly happened to Paul. An answer to prayer by his beloved mother.. I will recommend this movie 👍
