CAST & DIRECTOR
Directed by Ben Smallbone, Joel Smallbone. With Joel Smallbone, Beth Easdown, Kenneth Barry.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
As America’s fight for independence begins, a young drummer boy, an enslaved woman, and a divided family each search for freedom in a world built to deny it. With music carrying hope through battle and loss, Drummer Boy turns the Revolution into a deeply human story of faith, forgiveness, and the belief that no person is born to live in chains or be forgotten.
