Christian power couple Mark Burnett and Roma Downey weaved their talents onto the big screen once again as their faith-based football drama “Woodlawn” is set for release next month.

“Woodlawn” stars Sean Astin and Jon Voight. The story is based on the true events concerning a high school football team in 1973 in Birmingham, Alabama, which struggled with government-mandated desegregation, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie’s synopsis reads: “A gifted high school football player must learn to boldly embrace his talent and his faith as he battles racial tensions on and off the field in ‘Woodlawn,’ a moving and inspirational new film based on the true story of how love and unity overcame hate and division in early 1970s.”
