A lot of is has to do with people wanting an escape from economic hard times (a film is cheaper than going to Disney, one woman says). Now as much as ever Christians should be in tune with the work of the film industry.

Let us also pray for those Christians in the industry, that God would support them, embolden them, and grow their numbers for His glory.
