Mitch Albom (Bradley Whitford) has a pretty great life. He lives in Detroit
and is happily married, he’s an award-winning sportswriter, a must-read
newspaper columnist, a screenwriter, a radio and television broadcaster. Then
two men come into his life, and he realizes something’s missing. Rabbi Albert
Lewis (Martin Landau) presides over a thriving synagogue in a comfortable New
Jersey suburb, and pastor Henry Covington (Laurence Fishburne), a recovering
drug user and dealer, preaches to the poor and homeless in a crumbling Detroit
inner-city church. Moving between their worlds – Christian and Jewish,
African-American and white, impoverished and privileged – Albom witnesses
first-hand how these two very different men not only live life, but celebrate
it. What else do these two have in common? They believe there’s divine spark in
all of us – and that a single person can make a big difference in others’ lives,
as long as they have a little faith.
