A Father's Promise + Concert
Directed by Rick Korn and executive produced by Sheryl Crow, A FATHER'S PROMISE is a powerful and uplifting story of Mark Barden, a loving father and musician, who experiences immense grief when his son, Daniel, is murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary. Mark lost all joy in music and makes a promise to his son and himself to become a powerful voice for change.
Featuring musical performances by Mark Barden, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Sheryl Crow, Karen Fairchild (Little Big Town), David Shaw (The Revivalists), Jimmy Vivino, Alternate
Routes, Aztec Two-Step, and Bernie Williams (guitar player and former NY Yankee). A FATHER'S PROMISE is an inspirational journey of the remarkable resilience and humanity of Mark, his family and Sandy Hook Promise as they successfully create non-political, solutions-based programs to address the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Becoming a leading
gun violence prevention activist that has saved thousands of lives while taking on the powerful gun lobby and succeeding, Mark inspires Presidents, Congress, Governors, schools, students, and parents. After years of not playing music, he eventually finds that joy once again.
The film will be followed by a musical performance from Mark Barden and Jimmy Vivino of the Promise Band.
