CBN.comTwo weeks after the movie "Woodlawn" hit the big screen, it's being hailed as a ground-breaking faith film and it's helping churches to lead young people to Christ.
The film is set in 1970s segregated South. Newcomer Caleb Castille stars as Tony Nathan, the Woodlawn football star who endured racism and went on to play for Alabama and the Miami Dolphins.
"For me, to be able to step into his shoes, was just an opportunity I will never forget," he told CBN News.
"I was hired as Tony's stunt double because of my athletic ability and my background there. And they had some issues with the actor they originally hired... Just simple work visa" he explained.
"But God had a way, and just three days before production, they are calling me telling me that it might be me," he said.
**In this week's Studio 5 segment, CBN's Efrem Graham spoke with Caleb Castille and the film's producer, Kevin Downes, about why they feel this story was special from the very start.
