1500 STEPS 2 APRIL

1500 Steps is a fascinating Christian movie that tells a remarkable coming-of-age story. The
film follows the high school life of Jonas “Jobe” O’Brien, a sixteen year-old with a difficult life
and more than his fair share of high school drama. Jobe is a loner with few friends and little
to inspire or encourage him. It’s at this difficult point in his life when he must choose whether
he is going to follow his own path or if he will work hard and become a real man.

Jobe finds himself constantly butting heads with the school bully Damon Dundas after he
seemingly steals his ex-girlfriend Grace. Grace is always supporting Jobe and encouraging
him to follow his pursuits, which greatly angers Damon, who is out to get back at Jobe and
this leads to a fatal disaster at a late-night high-school party. Jobe then chooses to pursue
revenge which leads to a series of mistakes and consequences. After Harry White, a retired
ex-Olympian meets Jobe, he helps train him to become a real man and encourages him to
stand up and show true faith and perseverance. Will Jobe make the right choices, or will he
continue his descent into depression and anger?
