This is the biopic of a song, and therefore of the songwriter. Unfortunately, he has a very abusive background, so that's unpleasant to watch. The epilogue title cards describe the abusive father becoming Christian while he was suffering from cancer, and I didn't get that from the film. (Always possible that I wasn't sufficiently attentive.) I suppose if you know the song (a best-seller on Christian charts), this might be interesting.
