DRAMA

Sunday, Sky Premiere HD, 9.35am & 5.50pm 

Rooted in the true story of the unlikely friendship between a millionaire Texan art dealer and a homeless ex-con, this faith-based drama carries with it a slight whiff of that unfortunate cinematic cliché: the wise black character who helps the white protagonist to be a better person, The Legend of Bagger Vance and The Green Mile being just two examples.
