The Investigator is designed to encourage and uplift families in difficult times. It tells the story of police sergeant James Buanacore (Wade Williams), a 20-year veteran investigator whose life crisis prompts him to retire from the force and take up a job as a local high school baseball coach. When he’s asked to also teach a class on criminal justice, he and his students embark on a most unlikely investigation – into the homicide of Jesus Christ. Using historical records and circumstantial evidence, they conduct a mock trial to examine the age-old claims and modern objections surrounding Jesus. Along the way, they tackle not only the biggest questions in history, but more importantly, the challenges in their own lives.
The Investigator’s themes of reconciliation, second chances, and overcoming obstacles in life have attracted nationwide support for the film, with individuals and groups buying out theaters in advance of the September 13 release. Mega-church pastor Bob Coy of Calvary Chapel in Ft. Lauderdale has teamed up with renowned historian Dr. Gary Habermas, the foremost historical expert on Jesus Christ, to create a workbook based on the film.
Filmed on location in Pinellas County in Florida, The Investigator is the flagship family-friendly release of Gabriel’s Messenger’s Films. The Dove Foundation, which reviews movies based on moral content, has given its “seal of approval” to for the film.
A portion of proceeds from the movie will be donated to charity.
