Between Mercy and Me

110 Minutes
Two Musicians. One City. Two vastly different experiences. One never-changing God. BETWEEN MERCY AND ME is a musical journey into the hearts of unexpected friends Hugo and Mercy, who struggle to find a connection and hope for their hurting community … and themselves. 
Between Mercy and Me is an original music drama penned to encourage honest and raw conversations on race, racial divisions, stereotypes, and faith, especially within the evangelical church.  As his community faces tragedy and gentrification, Hugo’s pastor challenges him to produce new music to uplift the congregation.  Facing writer’s block, he visits the new neighborhood coffee shop where he encounters Mercy, a fellow musician who offers to help his song writing efforts.  As their relationship grows, they are surprised by the reactions from their communities, friends and their own families. Hugo and Mercy are determined to not let hard conversations keep them from being together, but their relationship is rocked by a routine traffic stop causing them to come face to face their own internal narratives and beliefs.  Will they choose to be vulnerable with one another or move apart with hard hearts affirming the very biases that they worked so hard to obliterate?

Blew me away! A non-biased, moving presentation of a very important issue of our day! Dr. Scott Rainey - Church of the Nazarene
When people can come together to have an honest conversation about race with faith at the center, they get ignited to pursue the work of justice. One of our UNDIVIDED Alum, Craig Brown, used his creative skills to do just that. Craig co-wrote and directed a new film, Between Mercy and Me, in theaters June 20th nationwide and I invite you all to go see it, and take a friend. I love Craig's example of using creativity to invite more people into dialogue and activate them on the path towards racial justice. Chuck Mingo - Crossroads Church
It is essential that the Church leads the way when it comes to racial reconciliation and biblical justice, but how do we do it? And how can we talk to each other rather than talking past each other? This powerful new film, filled with unforgettable music and a penetrating message, could be the very tool that helps spark the conversations we must have if we are to show the world our love for one another. Dr. Michael Brown - Undivded Ministries
