2019 was a huge year for premiere movies on ACCTV. There was comedy, romance, action, drama and everything in between! From the swashbuckling action and adventure of Beyond the Mask, to touching drama in New Life and so many more incredible true stories and moving accounts of faith, love and redemption.

These were some of my favourites this year (in no particular order), how about you?
Soul Surfer
Soul Surfer is the incredible and inspirational true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton. Bethany lost her left arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, through her sheer determination and unwavering faith. Bethany is played by AnnaSophia Robb who brilliantly conveys Bethany’s fight to recover from her ordeal. Bethany’s loving parents, Tom and Cheri are played by Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid and Carrie Underwood makes an appearance as Bethany’s youth group leader.
