Best Youth Film - 2002 Crown Awards

A film that is sweeping the country and impacting lives in its path. "The Fast and the Furious" has proven that street racing is a national phenomenon. Here is an evangelistic answer for those interested in fast cars, and the fast life. A drama that unfolds a story of the reality that there is more to life than what most people value.

LAY IT DOWN is an explosive drama set against the teenage world of illegal street racing. Ride with Ben Destin (Sean Mc Ewen) as he finds the way of the narrow road to eternal life through Jesus Christ. Once he finds this route, he encourages all of his friends to discover the same freedom.

LAY IT DOWN is a powerful, ground-breaking evangelistic film. Its compelling delivery and heart-pounding action make it a must see for teens and young adults. From the producers of The Moment After and Mercy Streets.

Customer Reviews

Great film to present the truth!
I liked this movie very much. Its teen characters are very believable; the mother of the two main teenagers is a great example of a Christian being "real" and trying to reach out to her son's lost friends. The gospel is presented clearly and unashamedly.
If you are looking for a standard flick with a few racing scenes where some unrealistic hero spews out some cool phrases that no one ever takes serious in real life, this movie may be outside of your box. However, if you are looking for some teens making some real-life decisions (which are mostly made in the teenage years!), this movie will be challenging and interesting.
I can only recommend watching it.

We need more of these
I show this to different youth groups every year and I always get a positive response. I speak weekly to youth groups and have shown lots of different videos (that don't get the same response) to promote Christian values and positive citizenship but this video tops the list.
If you're looking for secular-flashy/racing "Fast & the Furious" type of flicks then there are many out there.
If you're looking for a movie that'll appeal to todays teens and still bring home the message of the Gospel then this a diamond in the rough.
Hope this helps.

Lay it down................ Laid it down
I'm surprised by the reviews here??? There is a reason it won best youth film 2002. I am into racing and still somewhat young and I thought it was the coolest Christian film I had ever seen.
