LOG LINE FOR UPCOMING FEATURE FILM
Kathryn is a character-driven story of an ambitious and charismatic female evangelist who prophesies that divine healing can cure human maladies, afflictions and infirmities. Her goal to enter and succeed in the ministry as an accomplished divine healer is challenged after she engages in a scandalous affair with a fellow evangelist and does battle with a fundamentalist minister who asserts that women can be teachers, not preachers, and labels her divine healing efforts as a fraud on churchgoers.
