“Thank you.”

From Indivisible.

In early 2007, new Army Chaplain Darren Turner’s (Justin Bruening) unit is deployed to Iraq, leaving his wife Heather (Sarah Drew) at home to take care of their three children (Samara Lee, Lucas Shane, and Abby Hummel).  With the encouragement of his commanding officers (Michael O’Neill and Eric Close), Darren begins to reach out to the soldiers in his unit; especially his neighbor Michael (Jason Winston George) from home, single mother Shonda (Skye P. Marshall) struggling to connect with her son, and young husband and father Lance (Tanner Stine).  At home, Heather begins to connect with both Michael’s wife (Tia Mowry) and Lance’s wife (Madeline Carroll), and the women draw close as they struggle through the struggles of life alone.  Both Darren and Heather experience difficulty adjusting to their new life, but the more of the war Darren lives through, the more distance that he places between Heather and himself.  When Darren finishes his tour and returns home after 15 months away, he is a man struggling with PTSD, his faith, and heartbreaking loss.  Heather tries to understand what her husband is going through while Darren wrestles with his faith and how to move forward in his life and marriage.  As they’re caught in a whirlwind of doubt, trauma, and confusion, Darren and Heather must decide what they want for their marriage and what they are willing to fight for.

Inspired by the real life story of the Turners, this movie focuses on the many struggles of soldiers and their families during and after deployment.  While it is a faith-based film, it never comes across as preachy or overbearing, but rather a genuine look at real struggles that many have and how one family dealt with them.  The story is intense and, at times, heartbreaking, but as a whole it is an inspiring display of family and faith.  Drew and Bruening lead the film well, while the rest of the cast also brings their characters alive with heartfelt sincerity.  Indivisible is an inspiring movie that viewers from all backgrounds can and should enjoy.
