The movie highlights the revival that swept over a town because of a Chaplin's boldness to introduce a football team to Jesus and it appears that the film's message is spreading like wild fire. According to various reports, young people are standing up for their faith.

"I've never seen anything like it in my life! It started in Memphis, forty players came to Christ," filmmaker Jon Erwin said in a radio interview about the revival that has hit movie theaters since the viewing of the film.

The Erwin brother likewise said during the 2015 Dove Awards that there in fact is a "revival happening in the movie theater."

In a recent interview with BREATHEcast, lead actor of 'WoodLawn,' Caleb Castille said he believed people should be courageous about their faith but offered some advice in how to do so.

"I think that you can be bold about your faith without slapping people in the face with it. I don't think anybody wants to be beat over the head with religion but I think that young people shouldn't be ashamed. Young people shouldn't be ashamed of the Gospel, of their relationship with the Lord," he declared.

Castille goes on to say that people can fight political correctness by "living by example and then using your voice."

"Not being afraid to voice your opinion and living by example because I believe the first thing non-believers want to do is throw stones at Christians who don't live the way that they think they should," he said, "It's not like Christians are perfect people but then again through the power of the Holy Spirit we're suppose to be able to overcome all things and do things, and live in a certain way that is honorable and pleasing to God."
