Showing at the Dells Theater
“HE LEADETH ME” – A minister challenges a local judge’s decision to adopt an orphaned teen left behind by his parents. The judge will do everything in his power to claim the boy as the minister denies paternity claims made against him in efforts to mask his own sins. Inspired by the prodigal son story told in Luke 15, this story, with a vast array of characters, reminds us how easy it is to run away from what is good and to deny the truth about who and what we are.
Set in the upper Midwest during the dustbowl, the movie was filmed in Minnesota. Among its stars are the Skliris family of Dell Rapids.
“He Leadeth Me” starts Friday, November 15 at the Dells Theatre. 125 minutes. It’s rated not rated but would most likely receive a PG for adult themes.
