The makers of Unconditional, a Christian-themed drama scheduled for a Sept. 21 theatrical release, have announced partnerships with national nonprofits, such as Feed The Children, Arrow Child & Family Ministries, Here's Life Inner City and more than 150 other local service organizations across the country.

The partnerships are a direct response to the film's ACT campaign, a movement encouraging moviegoers to serve alongside such organizations and ministries to help make a difference in their communities.

Unconditional tells the story of Samantha Crawford (Lynn Collins), whose storybook marriage is wrecked by a senseless act of violence. "Papa" Joe Bradford (Michael Ealy), Crawford's childhood friend, leads her on a journey back toward unconditional love.

Produced by Harbinger Media Partners, the film is based on the real-life Joe Bradford, who serves seven at-risk communities in Nashville through his Elijah's Heart ministry.

"My dream is that Unconditional inspires cities to unite in love to rescue one of our most precious commodities: thousands of at-risk and fatherless children torn by poverty and oppression," said Bradford, co-producer of the film.

In June, Xulon Press released A Walk of Love, Bradford's autobiography. On Sept. 1, B&H Books will release a novelization of Unconditional by Eva Marie Everson.

"It's encouraging to know that the film is resonating with those serving their community on a daily basis." said Ealy, a Golden Globe nominated actor. "This film is important to me because not only is it entertaining, it will inspire viewers to go out and make a difference."
