The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theatres around the globe to present the worldwide premiere of “Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story” showing Tuesday, Oct. 7 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

It’s Chicago in the 1980s and ‘90s, and Kevin Matthews has it all as one of the nation’s most recognized on-air radio personalities. He’s partying with celebrities, rubbing shoulders with famous athletes, and the world is at his fingertips. Then everything changes – he’s diagnosed with a debilitating illness and the spotlight gradually slips away.

At the height of his anguish, he stumbles upon a broken statue of the Virgin Mary, and his life takes an unexpected turn. In this moment of spiritual awakening, Kevin finds his true purpose and calling, discovering what matters most.

Calling himself “Mary’s Roadie,” he offers his fans something deeper: inspiration and hope.

“Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
