I’m Not Ashamed Movie Storyline. The Columbine Massacre of April 20, 1999 completely redefined America’s view of the lives of high school students. Drawn straight from Columbine victim Rachel Joy Scott’s words and journal entries, through the insight of her mother, Beth Nimmo, it is the true story of a high school student whose compassionate, caring faith caused her to reach out to fellow students including her killers who made her a target of their murderous plan.
I’m Not Ashamed is a drama film based on the journals of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Columbine, Colorado. Scott will be the main protagonist, while the two gunmen during the shooting, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold will be the main antagonists.
‘I’ve always been drawn to hands. I think it’s because it’s the way we touch people,’ Columbine High School student Rachel Joy Scott wrote in her journal. ‘If one person could go out of their way to show compassion, it could start a chain reaction.’ Growing up, Rachel knew the love of God, but she wasn’t always ready to receive it.
At times her faith was on fire… and at other times it was at odds with her everyday life. As she wrote in her journal: ‘I don’t understand why having a walk with God is so hard for me. I’m so weak. At school, with friends, at work.’ Having reached a breaking point when her relationship with a non-believing boyfriend ended, Rachel found inspiration from her ‘big brother’–a former homeless teen she helped lead to Christ.
After praying, ‘Father, use my life to touch the world and let your light shine through me,’ her renewed commitment to Jesus played out compassionately and powerfully at her high school… and around the world. Pure Flix presents I’m Not Ashamed, the inspiring true story of Rachel Joy Scott at Columbine High School. When her hopes and dreams seemed to end, God was just getting started.
Opening in theaters October 21, I’m Not Ashamed stars Masey McLain, Ben Davies, Sadie Robertson, Korie Robertson, Jaci Velasquez, and Jennifer O’Neill. Based on Rachel’s honest and heartfelt journals, I’m Not Ashamed is a hope-filled reminder that when we put our lives in God’s hands, we can make a world of difference.
