One year after its release, Lost Boy: The Next Chapter is turning into the little film that could. The documentary, which chronicles the life of Southern California pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie, was awarded Best American Documentary (under 75 minutes) at the International Film Festival of South Africa last weekend. In addition, the film was recently selected as one of just ten films that were screened during the Outreach Film Festival in San Diego.
Lost Boy, The Next Chapter also received the Audience Favorite Best Documentary Award at the Riverside International Film Festival (Riverside, California) and the Best Documentary Award at the International Christian Film Festival. In addition, it has been screened at the Long Island International Film Festival and the International Film Festival of Ireland.
Originally created as the companion piece to Laurie’s book, Lost Boy, the documentary film version offers viewers a chance to learn about his compelling life story: from Laurie’s childhood raised by an alcoholic mother who was married and divorced seven times, to his decision to follow Jesus Christ on his high school campus, to his expansive 30-year public ministry, and finally, to the heartbreak of his eldest son’s unexpected death in 2008.
