WND did an exclusive interview with John Schneider, who is a father of three and a self-proclaimed Christian. He shared why he believes this movie is so appropriate for dads…
“When a script like ‘Hardflip’ comes along, with a real depiction of the rewards of a father-son relationship but also the difficulties of building one, you have my attention.
