"I'm a believer in looking ahead, not behind, but sometimes only
time and distance can bring everything into perspective,"
Russ Taff said. "Forgiveness,
healing, restoration— I am living proof that Jesus is still
about His Father's business, one broken person at a time."
Acclaimed director Rick
Altizer (Chonda Pierce:
Laughing in the Dark) traces Russ
Taff's iconic four-decade career, as well as the
childhood trauma he suffered at the hands of an alcoholic father
and abusive mother.
Unable to overcome his shame for many years, Taff turned to
alcohol, distancing his family, threatening his career and
jeopardizing his life. In "Russ
Taff: I Still Believe" the award-winning Gospel singer
candidly reveals how a tumultuous past fueled his own addiction and
the ultimate healing he embraced in the power of love and
forgiveness. "I Still Believe" also shines an important spotlight
on Taff's wife of 42 years, Tori; her tough love, fervent prayers
and unfailing devotion helped her husband find freedom from his
past through God's mercy.
The film includes appearances from such legendary artists and
entertainers as Amy Grant,
MercyMe's Bart Millard,
Michael W. Smith, Newsboys'
Michael Tait, Bill Gaither, and comedians Mark Lowry and Chonda Pierce.
"In this feature, Russ Taff highlights a very important
issue – alcoholism – and his journey to overcome that addiction,"
Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said.
"Events like this offer people the opportunity to reflect on their
lives and begin to have conversations around a very real cultural
issue."
