He makes it his mission to meet people where they're at, and it's in that reaching-out that he starts to change his school and then other schools that catch on to the movement. We have two intriguing viewpoints and social commentaries - one in Franklin who condemns the behaviors that God pointed out in scripture as being wrong, and another in Steve pointing out that we all fall short and that God has love for us regardless. Pass The Light is pretty idealistic, but it's a feel-good kind of story with a thought-provoking platform. Steve finally gets sick and tired of the negative message Franklin is promoting and decides to take matters into his own hands, and begins spreading a positive message of love through Christ instead.
Baumann's platform calls for the people to fight against immorality, including homosexuality and sexual perversion, and for them to be cast out. While Steve hopes for his life to turn around, a local political figure named Franklin Baumann is making the rounds, campaigning for congress while promoting a message of intolerance toward sinful acts in the community. His strong Christian faith has the more image-obsessed jocks calling him "Little Tebow," and his home life isn't that much better as his parents struggle with his dad being out of a job. He's got a crush on the "hottest girl in school" and mostly just keeps the bench warm for the school's football team. Little indie film Pass The Light hones in on a small town in Illinois and a Christian school there called Northfield Christian Academy where a shy teenage boy named Steve Bellafiore struggles to find his place among the crowd.
Condensing the gospel message into one two-hour shot in the form of entertainment has to be difficult. It's not an easy task to convey a Christian message honestly and sincerely in a film setting.
