About The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry
The lives of twelve year old buddies Dustin, Albert, and Mark, sharing a carefree existence in the summer of 1970, suddenly changes when Dustin makes an unexpected friend after cutting the lawn of 75 year old Jonathan Sperry. As the old man shares lessons in faith with the preteen trio, a spiritual transformation occurs.
Directed by Rich Christiano, The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry leans on a strong ensemble — Gavin MacLeod, Jansen Panettiere, Frankie Ryan Manríquez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
