Synopsis

19 year old Isaiah Wright lives for basketball and video games. A year out of high school, he has no job, no plans, and no idea how to be a man. At odds with his single mother Cynthia, Isaiah is given an ultimatum – to step up or move out. Feeling the pull from his friends and the push from his mom, Isaiah is hired by Moore Fitness, unaware of how the owner will personally impact his life. With the prayers of his mother and unexpected guidance from his new mentor, Isaiah is forced to deal with his past, sacrifice his selfishness and discover how God might have a greater purpose for his life.

The Forge looks promising for our next movie night. Does it get a conversation going afterwards?

Ciaran, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

The Forge is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Caoimhe, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering The Forge: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
