(SPE) company, and Provident Films have released a teaser trailer for Overcomer, the highly-anticipated newest feature film from the Kendrick Brothers (War Room, Courageous). The 90-second teaser trailer shows writer/director Alex Kendrick in the leading role, portraying a coach, husband and father, and shares the movie’s theme of discovering who you are when everything you once valued is taken away.
