Redemption: Phil Robertson Reveals Details of Life Transformation in New Film
“Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson thanked the Lord in a recent Facebook post and unveiled the trailer for the new film “The Blind,” a biographical look at his harrowing, real-life journey.
“I’m thankful every day that Jesus changed my life and Miss Kay stuck by me through bad times and worse,” Robertson wrote, praising his wife. “She’s the best woman there is, and I love her.”
And the world’s most famous duck hunter went on to offer a message of hope to fans—and the world at large.
“If redemption can happen for me, it can happen for any of us,” Robertson continued. “It’s hard for me to see what I once was, but I want you to know there’s hope for us all.”
Robertson’s son, Willie, also put out a Facebook statement, noting there “wouldn’t be a Duck Commander, ‘Duck Dynasty’ or maybe even a Robertson family” if Phil’s redemption story had never unfolded.
Willie spoke about the inspiration behind “The Blind,” which is set to hit theaters nationwide Sept. 28.
“This movie shows both the good and the bad of our family’s origins,” Willie wrote. “But—most importantly—it shows God’s grace and forgiveness.”
As CBN’s Faithwire has reported, long before the Robertsons became household names and sparked nonstop laughs through their hit reality TV show “Duck Dynasty,” running on A&E from 2012 through 2017, Phil Robertson faced an arduous journey.
Far from the God-fearing man he is today, early on in his marriage to his wife, Kay, Phil was an alcoholic who almost imploded his life. Then he found Jesus.
Now, Phil’s story of almost losing it all, embracing Christ, and later inspiring millions will be told through “The Blind.”
