MORE "BILLY GRAHAM PRESENTS" TO DVD
Enjoy two uplifting stories about struggle, faith and testament as the "BILLY GRAHAM PRESENTS" collection arrives on DVD April 11 from Fox Home Entertainment. Produced by Graham's World Wide Pictures, the films include The Climb and The Hiding Place.
The Climb: Two hotshot solo climbers forge an uneasy friendship in order to reach their ultimate summit. A daring rescue just earned flamboyant Derrick Williams (Jason George) the climb of his lifetime, but his dream comes with an unwanted partner. "Safety Man" Michael Harris (Ned Vaughn) doesn't hot dog, doesn't blaze trails, and rarely takes life to the edge. Training takes a back seat to their fire-and-ice relationship. But no amount of training can prepare this turbulent team to the harsh reality of the Chilean Andes ...
The Hiding Place: Beautifully restored, this inspiring true story of Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom now outshines its stunning Hollywood premiere. With the WWII Nazi invasion on Holland, the ten Boon family joins the underground resistance to help save persecuted Jewish families. But when they themselves are arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps, they are left with nothing to cling to but their faith.
