“Capture the spirit of the holiday season with the inspirational family film that captured the hearts of millions on The Hallmark Channel; Christmas In Canaan, arriving on DVD October 5 from RHI Entertainment and Vivendi Entertainment. In the rural town of Canaan, Texas amongst the rising heat of the civil rights movement, widower Daniel Burton (Billy Ray Cyrus; Grammy Award ? nominee, ?Hannah Montana?) is doing his best to raise his three children without prejudice. Despite all efforts, his 10-year-old son, DJ (Zak Ludwig; Martian Child), has made an enemy of his classmate, Rodney (Jaishon Fisher; ?Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story?), simply because Rodney is black. In an attempt to remedy the situation, Daniel, along with Rodney’s grandmother Miss Eunice (Candus Churchill, ?The Andromeda Strain?), decide to force the boys to spend time together. It is then that the two kindred spirits learn about compassion and overcome racial tensions, forming a lifelong bond. Amid the spirit of Christmas, the boys experience the gift of friendship, the power of hope and the true meaning of family. Christmas In Canaan is based on the book co-written by Grammy Award? winner Kenny Rogers.“
It all started with the dog. The boys heard a shot and saw the neighbor with a shotgun. They went to investigate and found that the guy had shot a poor dog. That’s when the two boys finally agreed on something and they both tried their best to help get the dog to the house. They continued to work together to nurse him back to help. I think that’s where their friendship formed.
Rodney came to live with the Burton family. Christmas was really rough that year and they couldn’t afford many presents. Daniel came into the living room with his arms full of gifts and gave his family “Some Christmas”. It was such a beautiful gesture and totally made Christmas so much better for everyone despite their lack of gifts.
Christmas In Canaan was a great movie and I absolutely loved it. Billy Ray Cyrus was perfect for the part as the father, who had a heart of golf and did his best to teach his children right from wrong. He showed them the way that people should be, instead of the horrible way that they actually weer back then. Friendship and love sees no color and that is what he instilled in his children.
I think Christmas In Canaan is a great movie that shows what Christmas really should be about, love. It would definitely be a great gift for anyone this holiday season!
