My grandmother’s church had a corral of miniature ponies on the property. They were rescued by the congregation from an abusive home and became beloved mascots. As a child, I had very little encounters with wildlife, other than our family dog, before I met those beautiful ponies. To the eyes of a 7-year-old, they were simply magical and magnificent!
Like the young boy in The Journey Home, I quickly formed a bond with those beautiful ponies, visiting and chatting with them each Sunday I accompanied my grandmother to church. I would have certainly gone to the extreme means, as the congregation did, to ensure they were well cared for. The experience taught me such a value life lesson about respect for all of God’s creatures. Even now, I rejoice in knowing I played a small part in their comfort, feeding them carrots and apples after mass and wishing them all the love a little girl’s heart can muster. Carrying for our animal friends is the reason I’m happy to introduce you to The Journey Home and to work with our sponsor, RLJ Entertainment.
About the Film: The Journey Home is a heartwarming tale of a boy and his need to reunite a polar bear cub with his mother. Despite the warnings of his family and friends, Luke speeds off on a snowmobile, with the cub in tow, deep into the frozen wilderness. But when a violent storm closes in, Luke’s mother and family friend Muktuk frantically search for the daring pair as they defy starvation and below freezing temperatures so both boy and bear can complete their own journeys home.
Take a peek at this heart-warming film:
When Luke Mercier (Dakota Goyo, Real Steel) heard some noise outside his house, he never could have guessed what he would find. Discovering a young polar bear cub that has been separated from its mother, Luke knows he has to do something to help. Despite the warnings of his family and friends, Luke speeds off on a snowmobile, with the cub in tow, deep into the frozen wilderness. But when a violent storm closes in, Luke’s mother (Bridget Moynahan, “Blue Bloods”) and family friend Muktuk (Goran Visnjic, “ER”) frantically search for the daring pair as they defy starvation and below freezing temperatures so both boy and bear can complete their own journeys home.
