'Just Let Go' the film, hit select U.S. movie theaters on Monday with a powerful message of forgiveness. BREATHEcast caught up with Chris Williams to discuss the inspiring true story of how he forgave the young man who killed his wife and kids in a drunken car crash.

The moving drama depicts how a person can forgive despite the vengeful tendencies that surface within the human heart when faced with tragic heartbreak. The film shows how hope, love, and forgiveness can overcome all when you just let go. It played on 450 screens nationwide and is set to release in certain areas on October 9.

Since the crash in 2007, Williams and his family have managed to take their families' hurt and spread the message of God's amazing love and forgiveness. "The more lives that are positively impacted by this message of forgiveness, and hope, and healing, then the less of a tragedy that it is for me and my family," Williams said, "As I watch the movie I was so moved, and I experienced it.

Williams sustained that he is really looking forward to the lives that will be touched through the film 'Just Let Go.' Based on the autobiographical book by Williams, Let It Go: A True Story of Tragedy and Forgiveness, the film stars Emmy nominee Henry Ian Cusick ('Lost', 'Scandal', 'The 100').

Williams' wife, unborn child, his only daughter and one of his sons were killed in the crash. Williams and his youngest son survived the crash while another son was not in the car with the family at the time of the crash. Williams witnessed his wife breathe her last breath and from that moment began his journey of forgiveness.

Williams has been very open to reliving his experiences from the courtroom, to his book and now on film. When asked if that has been hard for him he said testifying in the courtroom was the hardest.

"I believe my wife lives on and she's watching over me so I wanted to make sure that all of the things I said and did were in her honor and that she would be proud of me. Yes, [they are] very very difficult moments but also very touching in that in a unique way it keeps my children that have passed and my wife, present with me that I could talk about them. Even though it is a reliving and a reopening, I don't revisit the pain, I'm revisiting the healing and hopefulness and those positive memories I have of my family. So in that sense it's given me an ability to do it to revisit without having it to be re-traumatic," he said.

While in the car still after the crash stricken by grief, Williams looked out to see the car that hit their car. Driven by 17-year-old Cameron White, Williams maintains that at that moment he heard an audible voice say to him "just let go," and that's where his journey to forgiveness began. As a man of faith and Christ follower Williams knew he would need God to forgive this teenage boy who recklessly smashed into their car in a drunken binge.

When describing his experience he noted, "If anything it exposed that inherent weakness I had, so I absolutely had to rely on the grace of Christ that enabling power to allow me to do something I could not do on my own. So He in joining me in my journey and lifting me when I couldn't take another step in giving me that daily bread to go hour to hour and day by day. He has absolutely saved my life and healed me, just as he did anciently."

Williams believes God spoke to him and wanted to him to have faith beyond his pain. "For me that 'just let go' moment was just that. I had to indicate that I was willing to include Him in this journey forward and trust Him that He did have that power to heal and He has absolutely made all of the difference," he continued.

The Salt Lake City native goes on to explain grief and says human nature drives people to those emotions and they should walk through them.

"The more I try to push it out there and say 'no I shouldn't be feeling this way, or I shouldn't be doing this or that' it also made it a little more difficult I think," he explained, "When I accepted that yes I'm going to get angry and yes there will be moments of grieving and sadness, I gave myself a break, I gave myself permission to fells those things."

Williams says the key thing when going through those very powerful emotions is that he did not direct them towards the young man that killed his family. He treated the emotions as raw emotions that he had to get through like when battling the flu. He vividly described that moment after he realized his wife and kids were gone and he heard the audible voice from God say, "Let it go." That was the moment he purposed himself to forgive.

"That decision right there to commit to forgiveness that put me on this journey. It didn't spare me from pain it didn't spare me from all of the emotions of grieving that would come but at least it allowed me to go in my healing process in a much more healthy way than had I not made that commitment and tried to in my own strength because I don't have any strength," Williams confessed.

He sustained that forgiveness is a very powerful thing because it allows people to see each other through a different lens, an "eternal lens" so to speak. "God understands us perfectly and he knows what we're capable of" Williams detailed sighting the prodigal son parable in the Bible. Believing that God is just waiting for the prodigal son to return.

White, the young man behind the wheel was tried as a juvenile and only given his now a few years sentence and then released. Because of the love and grace that Williams extended towards White, he has since committed to use his life for good. White is now on his own faith journey with Christ and regularly speaks to thousands on the dangers on drinking and driving.

"He is an outstanding example of a transformation. We stay in regular touch it was my honor to attend his wedding reception in 2012 just to see the happiness on his face was a testament that Christ does love us all, Williams said of White.

"Forgiveness is such an expression of love, and to feel loved, and cherished, and desired even though we make so many mistakes in life is remarkable and it really is soul changing, he continued, "The point is we are all sinners and we really need to take advantage of that of forgiveness when it's given. I think this message is so critical for everyone regardless if they feel they need to be forgiven or to forgive somebody else."

The one-night "Just Let Go" movie screening event aimed to create a national discussion about the nature and necessity of forgiveness within individuals, communities, and even nations. In addition to the full-length feature, audiences experienced commentary, discussion, and a performance by renowned worship pastor and Christian recording artist Lincoln Brewster.

A portion of the proceeds from Monday's event will be donated to the Human Journey, web platform for the "Tutu Global Forgiveness Challenge" which empowers people to forgive.

"I hope that as people watch this film if they feel that they do need to forgive somebody of what's been done in the past and [they're] holding back they will commit as they watch this movie to just let go of whatever it is that's holding them back," he advised and said of others, "that they would commit that when an offense does come into their life, even if it's small, that they take a different response. One of forgiveness one of seeking for peaceful resolution."
