Although the original events depicted in this classic from the
drug infested, gang dominated streets happened over thirty years
ago, the life-changing solution that David Wilkerson brought to
desperate lives was just beginning. The beat goes on. The change
in the life of notorious gang leader Nicky Cruz, as shown in the
film, proved to be wonderfully lasting and real. Nicky continues
today to reach young people around the world with the same
life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ that
delivered him from violence and despair. And what about the
skinny preacher, David Wilkerson, who braved the meanest streets
of New York to tell desperate and drug crazed youth that there
was a better way? Now, three decades later, he is still at it
with a ministry based in Times Square that is still changing
lives and offering genuine hope to countless souls who had given
up on life.
Now in over 25 languages, The Cross and the Switchblade, starring
Pat Boone and Eric Estrada, is one of those rare films that has
shown its unique power to connect with the deepest hopes and
fears of youth around the world. It remains today one of the most
compelling stories of love, grace and the truth that no one is
ever so far gone that they cannot find the way out. 4629D
