The Forge is a moving story about a young man’s search for purpose. Through mentorship, discipline, and faith in God, his life is transformed from confusion into clarity, reminding us that true greatness is shaped in the fire of surrender and growth.
Richard speaks with Dia Frampton about some of her experiences with acting and music.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
The film's storylines read as allegories for the queer experience and that's a source of solace for LGBTQIA+ fans!
