On Our Screen

David

PG

In a kingdom torn by fear and corruption, a shepherd boy is called to stand against a giant and the darkness behind him. With nothing but faith, courage, and a sling, he defies an empire and awakens the heart of a nation. His journey will shape kings, test hearts, and reveal that the greatest strength is found in trust, not power.
