Movie tells tale of a young Billy Graham
By Behind The Scenes TV on Oct 13, 2008 in New Movies
Robby Benson knows how it sounds. But his reason for making a movie about the life of a young Billy Graham, the director says, is simple: “I wanted to make a movie about goodness.”
“Billy: The Early Years” focuses on Graham’s life as a teenager growing up on a dairy farm in Charlotte through his years as a young man, when he became a super-evangelist, drawing hundreds of thousands of people to his preaching tour “crusades.”
The film premieres in theaters Friday in more than a dozen Southern states.
