All Saints

In the quiet outskirts of rural Texas, Michael Spurlock walks away from a comfortable corporate career, trading boardroom meetings for the worn wooden pews of a modest country church. The congregation of All Saints is small, its future hanging by a thread as the aging building sits on a parcel of land coveted by developers. Michael’s arrival brings a blend of earnest conviction and the uneasy awareness that his own family’s stability may hinge on a decision that feels larger than any single life.

The church’s impending closure looms, and the faithful are forced to confront the stark reality of selling the land that has held their prayers for generations. Yet the narrative refuses to settle into simple loss; instead it hints at a quiet stirring of purpose that begins to reshape the community’s outlook. The atmosphere is warm yet tinged with uncertainty, as long‑time members weigh the weight of tradition against the promise of renewal, creating a backdrop rich with quiet tension and hopeful possibility.

Amid this crossroads, a group of refugees from Burma—the Karen—arrive, seeking a fresh start on the very soil that could be sold. Their presence introduces a new rhythm to the everyday cadence of the town, suggesting that the church’s fields might become more than just a financial lifeline. The film cultivates an uplifting tone, exploring how faith can intertwine with action, how strangers can become family, and how a collective leap of faith might transform both land and lives. The story invites viewers to linger on the gentle power of community, resilience, and the subtle, often unexpected, sparks that ignite change.
