David and Helen Smallbone, along with their six children, left their home and life in Australia after David’s successful music company collapsed.

Starring real-life family members Joel Smallbone (who plays his own father) and Candace Cameron Bure, this incredible tale showcases the resilience and strength of a family that holds onto their dreams, even in the face of adversity.
The movie, produced by brothers Luke and Joel Smallbone with Joshua Walsh and Justin Tolley, tells the story of a mother’s unwavering faith and how it not only inspires her husband but also her children to keep pushing forward. Daily Wire host Michael Knowles spoke with the talented brothers of for King + Country, who shared their story and the message they hope moviegoers take away from their film.
Joel Smallbone recounts the story of their father, who went from losing half a million dollars to being offered a job in Nashville – only to lose that job upon arriving. The family found themselves with no way to get back to Australia, no car, and no insurance for an upcoming high-risk pregnancy. He describes how their family persevered, stating, “It’s a ’90s film. It’s a film that celebrates moms and music and miracles and the local community coming together.”
Luke draws attention to a famous quote from Mother Teresa used in the film, emphasizing the power of family: “If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” The Smallbone family does just that and more. Despite the many obstacles they faced, Joel says the film is a “testament to their love.”
