What he soon realizes is there is more of history between this man and the mysterious young girl whom he is coaching but will it be enough to reunite them and what will that mean for the past in order to go on for the future.
At roughly 2 hour run time, Overcomer is just as powerful a movie as it’s predecessor War Room, which came out in 2015. It will have audiences clinging to hope when all hope seems lost and will give them a faith driven belief that will drive non believers to the truth.
