A response from Franklin Graham
The content lacks my father’s greatest passion: to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world and point men, women, and children to His saving power.
While the movie covers many aspects of my father’s early years, it depicts events that never happened or are greatly embellished.
My father’s life has been documented in many ways and I have always appreciated those who painstakingly sought to tell his story accurately.

Graham movie catches flak from Franklin
Son isn’t encouraging or discouraging people from seeing ‘Early Years’ – he just wants it clear some of it is fiction, and not backed by the organization.
