Brian's Song (1971)


This highly-acclaimed winner of five Emmy Awards is one of the best-loved movies ever made for television. It's the true story of a special relationship between two professional football players, Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) and Brian Piccolo (James Caan). Both star players for the Chicago Bears, Sayers and Piccolo soon become roommates and best friends.

When Sayers suffers a knee injury in mid-season, it is Piccolo who prods and inspires him to work toward a complete recovery. Then fate deals a cruel blow: Piccolo is stricken with malignant cancer. The constant support and friendship of Sayers plays an important role in Piccolo's heroic fight against the disease.

Also starring Shelley Fabares (TV's Coach) as Piccolo's loving wife, Brian's Song is a moving and unforgettable film.

Flame in the Wind (1971)


Set in the splendor and terror of the Spanish Inquisition, Flame in the Wind is a gripping drama of heroic Christian faith. It tells the story of Carlos, an earnest young nobleman who becomes involved in the age-old struggle between truth and error. Carlos is faced with a choice: the church system offers safety, protection and respectability, the Scriptures offer Christ and salvation from sin -- and with these, torture and death. To all those who trust Christ, Flame in the Wind is a challenge to be willing to endure persecution for the sake of the truth, even if it means the sacrifice of their lives.
