American Miracle Film Experience Highlights Founders’ Impact
Movie showcases events that can only be described as providence
Kevin Sorbo portrays Thomas Jefferson in the upcoming film experience The American Miracle: Our Nation is No Accident. His role is not large but very significant in introducing the reading of the Declaration of Independence in the movie. Jefferson, as history students know, drafted the Declaration. This historic document introduces new ideas about the rights of people and sovereignty of nations. Kevin calls it ‘brilliant’ and as a huge fan of our country’s founders, is delighted to be part of the film.
Sorbo would like to see civics taught more in schools. He realizes few even know the preamble of the Constitution that starts with “We the People,” crafted by committee members including James Wilson and Governor Morris of Pennsylvania. The drafting of the constitution is also part of the movie. Jefferson was an ambassador to France as leaders in America drafted the U. S. Constitution and other founding documents. At the end of the movie, Sorbo as Jefferson, has received a letter and reflects on its importance to move forward as a new nation.
American Miracle should be an experience on college campuses
Sorbo told President Donald Trump that he hopes The American Miracle will be shown on every college campus and people will recall that it’s not we the big government and learn more about what makes this country great.
The film, produced by Tim Mahoney, Heroic Films, and based on the book of the same title written by Michael Medved, showcases many events that led to freedom and the new nation that can only be described as miracles of Providence. This includes battles won due to fog descending at the time needed and George Washington not being killed despite many attempts.
Tim Mahoney and Kevin, both natives of Minnesota, met a long time ago. Keven narrated one of Tim’s earliest Patterns of Evidence films, The Exodus. That was Sorbo’s first time narrating a documentary and he went on to be part of about thirteen documentaries. They both desire to share true US history with young people.

Known around the world for his role as Hercules, Kevin continues to be a strong force in movies, He chose to invest his time and talents in faith-based films and in youth. He and his wife homeschooled their children. He ran the #1 after-school program in Los Angeles called World Fit for Kids.
Sorbo lived in Canada for five years and realized that it’s much more of a socialist country. He realizes Americans are often spoiled and don’t realize how lucky they are to live in this country. He often contrasted the growth of America with Canada, pointing to the American Dream as part of why America is so different. That dream began with the founders.
In addition to working with youth, he speaks to other groups, including his talk, “The Bear Essentials of Fatherhood,” which inspires men to embrace masculinity and true strength in God. He has written two books, including True Strength, which shares his recovery from an aneurysm and three strokes while in his role as Hercules, and his healing to live God’s purpose in his life. That purpose guides Sorbo’s choices, including his conservative political views.
He’s also hosting a golf tournament starting this June in conjunction with the Rise Up Con, in late June, a faith-based convention to celebrate faith in film, music, and comics. It’s not the usual comic con style event. This one brings in celebrity guests, lectures, and a wild life adventure for a family adventure where fandom becomes faith.
