Synopsis
Based on a remarkable true story, Unsung Hero follows David Smallbone as he moves his family from Down Under to the States, searching for a brighter future after his successful music company collapses. With nothing more than their seven children, suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY’s Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives. Helen’s faith stands against all odds and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs. With their own dreams on hold, David and Helen begin to realize the musical prowess in their children, who would go on to become two of the most successful acts in Inspirational Music history: five-time GRAMMY Award®-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James.

Titans of the faith-based filmmaking industrial complex they helped to create, Kingdom Story Company founders Andrew and Jon Erwin built their brand on the Christian rock biopics “I Still Believe” and “I Can Only Imagine,” ultra-benign stories of faith, loss, and profit…
davidehrlichApr 28, 2024A SOLID FAITH BASED FILM. Similar to this past February's Ordinary Angels, not overly preachy. There's a little bit of praying, little bit of church going, but if it's trying to convert you to the Lord, it's not trying very hard. Never felt like propaganda, it's more…
Joel R.Apr 28, 2024Unsung Hero is a movie I hadn't heard of when I saw it pop up at the local theater. Analyzing the ticket patterns of showings, I deduced it might be a faith-based film. The screenings were unusually full for such a seemingly obscure film which suggests the religious…

B E R TJun 15, 2024I’ve never heard of these people, and I’ll probably never think of these people again. She said she was, and I quote “preggers”. Why would you write your mother saying that? Acting as your own father is pretty stupid. Imagine The Rock playing his own dad in Young Rock, that…
gregs1999Apr 30, 2024Weighing in on the Joel vs. Joel debate on how to rate this faith-based film: If you're a fan of independent subtle music aspirational biopics of underseen or select-demographic acts and/or behind-the-scenes music professionals, such as most recently DREAMIN' WILD (2022)…

“Your family’s not in the way, they are the way” 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Fast and Furious found dead in a ditch. Vin Diesel, rolling around his bald head glinting in the sun, mouth desperate for water. Joel Smallbone has his foot over a canteen and boots it 50 miles leaving Vin to cope.…
Colin TwisselmannApr 27, 2024An excellent film that I thoroughly enjoyed and really loved. It’s a heartwarming and emotional underdog story with great writing and characters and it’s really inspiring. I loved this film even though I’m a bit biased because I’m a Christian and a fan of for King &…
Kenny the Movie GuyJun 10, 2024OK, can I ask a simple question, is your family what really makes you rich in life? “Unsung Hero” doesn’t really have the answer to that question, but it convincingly and in all accounts argues that making a hit movie about them wouldn’t hurt. Ok, I just threw that in to be…

Sherilee Nimon lovedUnsung HeroA touching real life story of how Rebecca St. James and the For King and Country family moved to the US and all the struggles they had.
Neophyte Reviews lovedUnsung HeroUnsung Hero is truly a wholesome and beautiful biopic telling the story and journey of the Smallbone family. For those who may not know, Christian musical artists Rebecca St. James and the duo of 4 King and Country, are 3 of the 7 Smallbone children. 4 out of 5 rating

Sloaners lovedUnsung HeroThis was just what I needed to watch. It’s a good reminder that God used sucky situations and ordinary people for great things. A very well done biographical movie of one of CCM’s greatest bands. I’d urge everyone to go see it, even if you just need a feel good film.
Bank likedUnsung HeroSaw this in theaters after my mother in law told my wife and I that it was the best movie ever. The story of the family’s lives was so inspiring and reminded me to keep having faith. And how strong a child’s faith is. I cried multiple times with my wife, it is worth every penny.
Johnny Craw likedUnsung HeroThis movie cut deep for me. My takeaways: Prayer is powerful. Family is everything. It is HARD to ask for help because it’s HUMBLING. It’s HUMILIATING. But when we surrender all to God we also have to surrender our pride. Who is the unsung hero? It became clear it was the mother
- Rebekah Bennett lovedUnsung Hero
Unsung Hero was a beautiful movie that spoke of a family going through a massive international move to start fresh. The plan they had was not what came to be, but better than they expected. This movie is based on the true story of one courageous family!
Jen lovedUnsung HeroUnsung Hero was such a great story. What an amazing family and the fact it’s based on a true story is mind blowing I cried at least two times if not more. If you love based on a true story movies like me, you should definitely check this movie out!
Anna Sundell lovedUnsung Hero9/10 this movie was so good. The fact that all of these things really happened just shows how mighty the Lord is. In the words of my husband, “I sobbed like a baby the whole time.”

Verified Review
Having seen both Rebecca St James & King & Country in concert many times and heard parts of their family's faith story & God's provision through His children it was wonderful to see it chronologically in context on the big screen. I'd highly recommend this movie to any adults who'd find encouragement in seeing good triumph and a wonderful date night w your kids (~10yrs+ only due to developmental understanding of themes) and could lead to deep meaningful discussions about faith, family, & future dreams over a dessert out afterwards!

Despite missing some needed scenes to carry forward the lead’s emotional throughline, this is a good film that is sure to resonate with its core demographic.

Cinematographer Johnny Derango helps to ensure that the film’s more prosaic moments — of which there are many — are endowed with the same ambient vitality, as the active camerawork and careful framing invite audiences to look for truth in the kind of story that tends to just shove it in your face.

It’s a humble story, one with the capacity to inspire in its simple message of perseverance. But the film itself, as an artistic product, feels limited in its observational scope, because the filmmaker doesn’t have any distance from the material.
