Movie Info
In this inspirational drama, law school grad Jason returns to his hometown where he finds more than just old friends. His father's existential death-bed question troubles him as he studies for the upcoming bar exam, but the local pastor's offer to run the youth group proves too much to turn down. As he reunites with an old friend and a woman who never got over her romantic feelings for him, he realizes that what he thought he wanted for his life may not be what he needs. ~ Kimber Myers, Rovi

Audience Reviews for The River Within
Not usually a fan of faith-based movies, but this one was alright. Pretty good, actually. It suffers from typical low-budget issues (no name actors, rough sound, etc.) but the story was realistic and good. The movie has a definite Christian message, but never feels preachy. I found many of the situations to be very relatable, and even cried twice towards the end. Definitely worth the watch if you are looking for something that is "family friendly".

If you are a young professional, teenager, parent, grandparent, teacher or just interested in the challenges some adults and children face these days, this movie is for you. It shows the many different elements that our children face in the world today and how adults can help to facilitate them in making the right choices in life and learn about their own relationships at the same time.
The River Within has a very relatable story of a young man who has graduated Law School moves home to his small town for the summer to study for his upcoming bar examination. He reconnects with old friends. When he encounters David, played by Craig Morris, a local small church minister, his life changes forever! He accepts a part time job as youth director for this small church. Davie reconnects with Paul, played by Craig Luttrell, a should have been actor who have returned from LA and Layla, played by Jaclyn Friedlaner, an old friend. Layla just happens to have had a childhood crush on Jason and it reignites with them reconnecting. This sends her engagement plans into a frenzy. David, as the youth minister, gets to know students personally and learns of their personal struggles. During this time, Jason discovers he has a passion that he didnâ(TM)t know existed within him.
As Jason says in this movie,â? I believe that God is always at work in the world around us.â?The River Within explores the idea that each of our lives has a purpose! The story is an uplifting story of struggle and triumph.
The movie was was filmed in Northeast Arkansas in the summer of 2008. You will be able to see true natural beauty and historical building while this touching story is acted out.
I would highly recommend this movie to everyone!!
