The tragedy of a career-ending injury in sports is all too familiar for a lot of people. Whether it’s something that has affected them or something they hear about happening to an athlete far removed from them. When an injury like this happens to a collegiate player, it is all the more crushing to see.

That’s the setup for the protagonist of the film Redemption: a collegiate track and field runner who suffers a career-ending injury.

Put yourself into the position of Christian Rayne, the ex-athlete. Where do you go when your whole life path is totally uprooted and your ability to move is impaired?

In Christian’s case, he spirals.

Further and further from his once bright future, he must make a decision: continue on this path and graze rock bottom, or find a way to rebuild. It’s an inspiring story that should strike a chord with lots of viewers.
