Iyi ndiyo nyaya inotaurwa mufirimu nyowani yekutanga yeNetflix Uyai Svondo, mutambo unoenderana nevanhu chaivo uye zviitiko. Uye, nenzira, iyi firimu yakandiita kuti nditende chaizvo kuva wechechi ine dzidziso ine chiremera yekududzira Magwaro muchiedza chechikonzero netsika.
Carlton Pearson, mutambi mukuru weHuya Svondo, akatambirwa naChiwetel Ejiofor (Solomon Northrup mumakore gumi nemaviri ari Muranda), aive muAfrican American megachurch superstar. Akapihwa mvumo yekuparidza aine makore gumi nemashanu, akazopedzisira ave kuOral Roberts University (ORU) uye akazova purofesa wega wechikoro cheterevhangelist akatanga. Nguva pfupi apedza kudzidza kuORU, akagara muTulsa ndokutanga iyo yepamusoro-dimensional Chechi, yakabatana nerudzi uye (zviripachena) kambani isingasarudze iyo yakakurumidza kukura kuita nhengo zviuru zvishanu. Kuparidza kwake uye kuimba kwakamuita iye mukurumbira munyika yevhangeri. Akaenda nenyika yose achizivisa kuchimbidzika kwechiitiko chemuKirisito akazvarwa patsva.
Saka babamunini vake vane makore makumi manomwe, vasina kumbobvira vauya kuna Jesu, vakazvisungirira muchitokisi chake. Pasina nguva refu, Pearson akamuka pakati peusiku, achizungunusa mwana wake musikana, pavakaona chinyorwa chetambo maererano nekuparadzwa, hondo uye nzara kuCentral Africa. Mumufirimu, apo zvifananidzo zveAfrica zvitunha zvinozadza iyo TV TV, maziso aPearson anozadza nemisodzi. Iye anogara kusvikira pakati peusiku, achichema, achitarisisa paBhaibheri rake uye achinamata.
Muchiitiko chinotevera tinoona Pearson pamberi peungano yake yakakura seColosseum achitaura zvakaitika usiku ihwohwo. Haana kuchema nekuti vanhu vasina mhosva vaifa noutsinye uye zvisina basa kufa. Akachema nekuti vanhu ava vaienda kunotambudzwa kusingaperi kugehena.
Pakati pehusiku hurefu, Pearson anoti, Mwari vakamuudza kuti vanhu vese vakatoponeswa uye vaizogamuchirwa pamberi pake. Iyi nhau inokwaziswa nekugunun'una kwakapararira uye kuvhiringidzika pakati peungano uye nehasha chaidzo kubva kuvashandi vepamusoro. Pearson anoshandisa svondo rinotevera kuvharidzira pane imwe motel yemuno neBhaibheri rake, achitsanya nekunamata. Oral Roberts iye pachake (akaridzwa naMartin Sheen) anototaridza kuudza Pearson kuti anofanirwa kufungisisa nezvaVaRoma 10: 9, iyo inoti kuti uponeswe unofanira "kureurura Ishe Jesu nemuromo wako." Roberts anovimbisa kuve kuchechi yePearson Svondo inotevera kuti amunzwe achidzosa.
Kana Svondo yasvika, Pearson anotora danho uye, naRoberts vachiona, zvinonzwisa tsitsi kubata mazwi. Anotsvaga bhaibheri rake kunaVaRoma 10: 9 uye anoita kunge ave kuda kutanga kudzosera kumashure, asi otendeuka kuva 1 Johane 2: 2: “. . . Jesu Kristu . . . Chibayiro chinoyananisira zvivi zvedu, uye kwete zvedu chete asi nezvezvivi zvepasi rose “.
Sezvo Pearson anodzivirira kusarudzika kwake kutsva, mitezo yeungano, kusanganisira Roberts, vanotanga kufambidzana. Pakati pevhiki inotevera, vafundisi vana vevachena kubva kuvashandi vaPearson vanouya kuzomuudza kuti vava kuda kuenda kunotsvaga chechi yavo. Pakupedzisira, Pearson anoshevedzwa kumakurukota eAfrican American Pentekosti mabhishopi uye vanonzi vanyengeri.
Pakupedzisira tinoona Pearson achienderera mberi kune chiitiko chechipiri chehupenyu hwake, achipa mharidzo yevaeni mukereke yekuCaliforni inotungamirwa nemumwe mufundisi weAfrican lesbian, uye chinyorwa chiri pachiratidziro chinotiudza kuti achiri muTursa nevashumiri vekereke yeAll Souls Unitarian.
Vazhinji vateereri vanogona kutora Huya Svondo sengano yemweya wakashinga uye wakazvimiririra wakapwanywa nevapfupi-vane pfungwa nhete. Asi dambudziko guru pano nderekuti tsika yechitendero chaPearson yakamupa zvishandiso zvishomana zvekuti aite pfungwa yekutenda kwake.
Kunzwisisa kwaPearson kwenyasha dzaMwari kunoratidzika kunge kwakanaka uye kwechokwadi. Asizve, sezvaakamhanyisa kubva kuiyo intuition akananga kuchimiro chemawkish chekuti hakuna gehena uye munhu wese anoponeswa kunyangwe zvodii, ndakazviwana ndichiteterera kwaari, "Verenga maKaturike; verenga maKaturike! “Asi, hongu, haana kumbozviita.

Panzvimbo pekuvapo chaiko kwaKristu muEucharist uye nekutsiva kwevaapositori, maKristu aya anongova neBhaibheri ravo, bhuku iro, pachiso charo, rinotaura sezvinhu zvinopesana pamusoro penyaya dzakawanda dzakakosha.
