"Last Ounce of Courage" Christmas Movie

If you have seen promotional trailers for the movie, "Last Ounce of Courage", then you are sure to know that the film stands up strongly for freedom, patriotism, and our Military. However, perhaps you didn't know (from the previews) that it is also about Christmas!


Movie description from "Last Ounce of Courage" press release:
“Last Ounce of Courage,” distributed by Veritas Entertainment and releasing in theaters nationwide Sept. 14, 2012 is the story of a grieving father inspired by his grandson to take a stand for faith and freedom against a tide of apathy and vanishing freedoms. Alongside fellow citizens of courage, faith, and integrity, he is a champion for the cherished principles “we the people” hold dear. Built on the themes of freedom, family and faith, “Last Ounce of Courage” seeks to honor the men and women who have sacrificed so dearly for our nation’s freedoms and inspire individuals to not take those freedoms for granted, but stand up bravely for what they believe.


The cast includes Marshall Teague (Roadhouse), Jennifer O’Neill (Summer of ‘42), Fred Williamson (Black Ceasar) and Jenna Boyd (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).


Film Synopsis from CFDb:
The approaching holiday season sets the scene for a battle, long in the making.

Christmas is under attack. The true celebration of Christ’s birth has been lost in a sea of tolerance and apathy.

Bob Revere, a decorated veteran and mayor, reconnects with his past when his alienated grandson, Chris, moves back to town. Through the discovery of a series of video diaries found in a footlocker, Chris wrestles with understanding the supreme sacrifice that his father Thomas made fighting for their freedom. Even more poignantly, realizing that their own freedoms have been slipping away, Bob and Chris question that while Thomas died fighting for their freedom, what are they doing now? What can one grandpa do? What can one kid do?

As the story unfolds, we find out just how much difference one ordinary person can make. Bob, the grandpa who serves as mayor of his hometown as it is entering the holiday season, determines to bring back the “true” celebration of Christmas to Mount Columbus. Chris encounters his own challenges for freedom at school while Bob’s fight for freedom brings him face to face with the hard-hitting ACLO.

Find out what happens as Bob exclaims, “My fight isn’t about colored lights and a Christmas tree on the city square. It’s about freedom, and taking back what’s been stolen from us. One by one we have lost freedoms that our forefathers, our brothers in arms and my son died for. It’s time we stand up for what they died for, for what we believe in.”



This movie is Rated PG and Dove Family-Approved.

  1. I saw this at the theater. It was so true and relates to everything going on today. We have to hold on to the values of our Country and cherish our Freedoms while standing up for them daily.

    Bob Revere is a character we should all want to be like.
