Synopsis:
Michael is not thrilled about his family’s move to New Hope, a small, close-knit southern town. After all, it is his senior year. He is even less enthused about joining the town’s high school basketball team, especially when he begins to bump heads with the team’s star player, Lucas. Lucas is fiercely loyal to the memory of his brother Chase — the victim of a suicide that shook the entire town to its core. To Lucas, Michael is reaping everything Chase left behind — an insult he refuses to accept. Jasmine, Chase’s longtime girlfriend, still has not found peace a year after his tragic death — until a chance meeting with Michael. Michael’s faith is tested as he endures confrontations with Lucas on and off the basketball court and through his growing fascination with Jasmine. With topics including peer pressure, alcohol, sex, suicide, relationships, and acceptance, New Hope captures the life of the modern teenager.

Reviews:
I loved the cast, the music and the heartfelt message about new hope rising after grief, loss and change. But this film doesn’t gloss over the struggle. We see a steep and rocky climb to rise out of the pit of depression, guilt and self-doubt and the loss of life’s meaning that comes with the loss of someone special and central to your heart and life. The struggle to allow life to go on while letting yourself leave that person behind – all sensitively portrayed.

I really like the messages the pastor/ dad gave to a family in grief. No platitudes just heartfelt support and great compassion. He passed these qualities on to his son and it was really nice to watch the evolution of Lucas’ and Michael’s relationship. The worked hard for that rapport and understanding.

The character of Jasmine was a total joy to behold and the power of a close knit community.

I believe this is a true story. I would love to read it.
