At the Back of the North Wind
Length: 63 min.
Age Recommendation/Content: preteen - adult; mild dramatic themes
Release: 2024
Synopsis:
Follow young Diamond on her journey with the mysterious North Wind and take flight on a "totally rad" 1980s musical fantasy adventure filled with synth music, roller skates, and a retro-style supernatural allegory that explores theodicy- that is, why a loving God allows evil to exist in the world. This is a confusing concept that keeps many people from having a relationship with God, and the question is deeply explored in a humorous, exciting, thought-provoking, and ultimately heart-rending presentation.
​
Part of the Retro Trilogy, an unofficial trilogy of YC films set in retro-America- the 50s, the 60s, the 80s. This is also part of our George MacDonald series- the first film ever produced of this classic work! Though You Connection may not agree with all aspects of George MacDonald's personal theology, he was nevertheless a groundbreaking pioneer in Christian fiction and influencer of later Christian writers such as C.S. Lewis, Oswald Chambers, and J.R.R. Tolkien, and we are thrilled to produce updated versions of his works for a brand new audience!
