Kevin Sorbo: There are a number of story lines throughout, and they sort of all come together at the end of the movie. Let There Be Lightwill make you laugh, cry and stand up and want to cheer. These days, our culture kind of denigrates the man to being just the paycheck, right? And this is a father who is divorced and sees himself as basically the paycheck and unappreciated. Kevin plays a father who is struggling to find his identity as a parent. One of them is dealing with his grief alone, and the other one is dealing with grief through her Christian faith. In a broader context, it’s a movie about two people who are dealing with grief. In your words, what is foundation for your new movie Let There Be Light? I spoke with the Sorbo’s recently to discuss the film, the current state of faith in American culture and why fatherhood is so under valued and under attack in the United States. The movie is executive produced by conservative commentator Sean Hannity. Written, directed, and starring husband and wife team Kevin and Sam Sorbo, the movie also features the acting debut of their sons Braeden and Shane Sorbo.
Opening in theaters nationwide this weekend, Let There Be Lightis a family affair. But a near death experience challenges his simplest assumptions about the world, shifting Sol’s moral compass in the opposite direction. In the new faith-based movie Let There Be Light, Sol Harkins is a world-renowned atheist and lousy father determined to make the world come to his side of the argument. Family values grow just a bit fainter while the moral compass between right and wrong heads just a little further south. With each passing day, the world seems to turn just a shade grayer.
