Kenmore seniors and their families are invited to a special free screening of the Australian film “Unsung Hero” at Kenmore Church. The film highlights the inspiring journey of an Australian family who overcame incredible odds to achieve their dreams in the music industry.
The movie will be shown on Tuesday, 22 October, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Kenmore Church, located at 41 Brookfield Road. Attendees will enjoy free popcorn and have the chance to connect with other seniors and community members.
Organised by Churches of Christ, one of Australia’s largest not-for-profit organisations, this event is part of the Queensland Seniors Month celebrations. It recognises seniors’ contributions while fostering community connections and social interaction.
“Unsung Hero” tells the remarkable true story of David and Helen Smallbone, a family who migrated from Australia to the United States after David’s music promotion business collapsed. With nothing more than their faith, seven children, and a deep love of music, the Smallbones rebuilt their lives in Nashville.
Helen’s unwavering faith inspired the entire family to push through hardships, and eventually, their children became two of the biggest names in Christian music—Grammy Award-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James.
Although the film is faith-based, its focus on family, resilience, and the challenges of starting over in a new country appeals to a broad audience. Its story resonates with the universal themes of hope, love, and perseverance, making it perfect for the seniors and caregivers attending this event.
Kenmore Church, where the screening will take place, is a growing, modern church launched in 2019 with a mission to bring a fresh expression of Christianity through multiplying discipleship and spiritual renewal. The church is committed to building connections across generations and contributing to the community’s well-being.
To reserve a spot for the screening, seniors and their carers can call Churches of Christ at (07) 3363 1881 or email events@cofcqld.com.au.
