Duck Dynasty’s new film, The Blind, offers hope amidst tough times.

The Blind:‍ A Redemption Story

The Duck⁢ Dynasty family, known‍ for their ‌popular reality TV⁢ series, is set to release a captivating new film called The Blind. This film ​delves into the untold, darker years of the family’s journey, long before their fame and ‌laughter filled the dinner ⁤table.

The Blind explores⁤ the​ power of redemption as Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, overcomes ​infidelity, ⁤alcoholism, depression, and even ‌thoughts of suicide during his early years as a husband ⁢and father. His ⁢wife, Miss Kay, stands⁤ by his side⁤ throughout this tumultuous journey.

Willie​ Robertson, the film’s producer and son of Phil and Miss Kay, shared, “

There was all sorts of stuff that, you know, especially my father went through and how he⁤ was living his life at⁣ the time. Kay was a teen mom, and then went through 10 ‍difficult years‍ of their early marriage, ⁣and ⁣then‍ was⁢ a ⁢single mom of three boys for a time.”

Willie, also the CEO of​ Duck Commander and Buck Commander, continued, “

I‌ think ⁢everybody who’s ​gone through ⁤hard times ‌in their life will relate, and hopefully it‌ will⁤ give people hope that you know things can change and life can be better even when you hit those, ​you know, rock bottom⁣ moments.”

The Blind is set ⁤in the backwoods swamps of Louisiana in the 1960s and will be shown in 1,800 theaters nationwide for one week starting on September 28.

Korie‍ Robertson, Willie’s wife ​and co-producer, emphasized⁢ the ⁤countercultural message of the film, stating, “

There is a countercultural message to⁣ be seen in this timeframe of cancel culture where ‍people say,⁤ you know, ‘People don’t​ change.’ But this shows and proves that people ⁢do change and⁢ they can change — and ‍really the power of God⁣ in their life that can change them.”

Willie expressed his optimism,​ inspired by the success⁢ of other faith-based films, saying, “

There’s definitely ⁤a place and an appetite ‍for​ that. We saw the [Duck Dynasty] show⁤ that dominated the ratings and ended ⁤with a prayer — things that I never would have thought would happen, especially in recent ‍America. … Not ⁤only does it work, it works well.”

The film’s ⁢creators have ⁤partnered with⁣ family resources such⁤ as⁣ Better Man, Dr. James​ Dobson, and Covenant Eyes to extend the message of hope found​ in the Robertson‍ family’s story.

In 2022, Phil​ released his book Uncanceled: Finding Meaning and Peace in a Culture of Accusations, Shame, and⁤ Condemnation. In this ⁢book, he offers insights on fostering respectful conversations amidst differing opinions, rooted in a culture‍ of peace and forgiveness rather than hate.

Phil explained his motivation for writing​ the book, saying, ⁢”

I‍ just thought I needed to liven ⁢it up a little bit and show them that we love⁣ them. These people come along, and they begin to persecute me and hate me for living a ⁤godly life in Christ Jesus. And I love them. … ​I’m ⁤hoping that they’ll‍ embrace Jesus and‌ that they will love⁢ God.”
