I’m Not Ashamed Reveals Faithful Student’s True Story at Columbine High

Movie Title: I’m Not Ashamed

• “I am a warrior for Christ.” – Rachel Joy Scott (played by Masey McLain)
• “I’ve always been drawn to hands.  I think it’s because it’s the way we touch people.” – Rachel Joy Scott
• “If one person could go out of their way to show compassion, it could start a chain reaction.” – Rachel Joy Scott
• Love, friendship, compassion, forgiveness, faith.
• “Life is hard sometimes, and as hard as it is to believe, God’s in control.” – Nathan Ballard (Ben Davies)

• You get to learn a lot about Rachel.  Many of the lines in the movie came straight out of her real life journal.
• It’s one of the better, more realistic Christian movies out there.
• Some live footage from the original scenes.
• People signed her casket, which I thought was a cool idea.
• If you’re a fan of Duck Dynasty’s Sadie Robertson, you’ll be happy to see her play one of Rachel’s Christian friends.
• The acting in most Christian movies is cringe-worthy, but both Masey McLain and Ben Davies give good performances that allow you to see character growth that is believable. 
• Rachel may not have lived a long life, but it’s clear that she touched a lot of people who have gone on to remember her faith and kindness.  In the movie we learn that she drew an outline of her hands on a piece of furniture in her bedroom when she was younger.  Next to it she wrote that she would touch millions of lives.  She has.
• It displays a very realistic high school experience and the very real struggle Christian teens deal with on a daily basis to maintain their faith.

Chilling lines:

•  “Do you still believe in God?” – Eric Harris (David Errigo Jr.)
   You know I do.” – Rachel
  “Then, go be with him.” – Eric Harris 
• “Are you, like, a REAL Christian?” – Alex Dickerson (Cameron McKendry)  I put this quote in the “Chilling lines” category, because if you’re a Christian, you’re not doing a very good job if people can’t tell.
