“Closer to Home” will hit home with a lot of families. It’s about a dedicated social worker named Faith (Cecilie Hughes) who helps various families with problems, including a young man accused of being involved in a robbery, an old friend whose husband abused her, and a young woman whose daughter takes drugs that her mother’s boyfriend left on the table. Faith is determined to help those in need.
In the story, a detective named Calvin (Michael Simpson) falls for Faith. Despite her resistance to him, she begins to realize he is a good man and that he truly cares for her. Due to a few sophisticated themes, including a drug overdose, we are awarding this film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12-plus. Faith is a woman who prays, and even when she struggles with her faith, God is always present in her life. The movie demonstrates that faith helps a person move forward.
