The Rally is a gritty drama which follows several families living in a town riddled with crime and corruption. As the local church works to bring positive change to the town, they are confronted at every turn by those that desire to keep the city in bondage...until today. God has sent a team into the city to bring change. One Event... One Church... One God... The Rally.

REVIEWERS NOTES The Rally is a hard hitting film depicting real life family drama in a California town. Each familys story converges at The Rally in an uplifting powerful message of hope. The film is intense with drug and violence scenes amazingly filmed without profane language. The Rally captures the true glimpse of what its like to spread the message of change in a hostile environment. Noticeably good acting led by Kenneth Copeland in a stunning performance as Sarka Sr.; and Danny Martinez brilliantly nails the character of Gilbert. Decent performances from T-Bone (Sarka Jr.), and Rick Reyna (as himself), along with Lyndsey Rae (granddaughter of Copeland portraying Sarah). Also of note, Lisa Renee Pitts (Sheri) and Mark Broadnax (Sheris cheating husband Dave), Peter Mark Vasquez (Manny Lopez), and J. Kristopher (Pastor Robb). Unnatural dialogue flow in a few scenes; liked to have seen more of a machismo tension between Sarka and son to balance the performance between T-Bone and Copeland (who is a larger than life persona on and off screen). Awesome Sound Track features live performances from Enkairos and the Latino hip hop of S.O.G. Crew; the fresh contemporary sounds of Sarah Hart Pearsons (wife of Jeremy Pearsons, grandson of Kenneth Copeland), and a music video featuring the captivating song entitled, Finally Now by The Queens (Reyna family band). Rick Reyna originally wrote the film as an evangelistic tool to win 1 million souls for Christ, but this film deserves wider distribution. This is not a Christian film; its a life changing experience that left this reviewer wanting more: What caused crime boss Sarka Sr. to walk away from the business? Will Sarkas boys really let Junior take over without a turf war? What happened in Gilberts past that left him a coldblooded killer? Finally: A movie that reflects the raw drama of popular culture and offers a real solution! Reyna presents us with rich, full-bodied material enough to script a complete season of television dramas. Would recommend this film for any mainstream audience. With some minor editorial and directorial additions, The Rally could easily pull a five star rating and fill inner city movie theatres across the globe. Would love to see more films like this on the Big Screen! Anticipating the release of The Rally 2 Breaking the Curse which is in production now.
