T.D. Jakes welcomes a new installment from the Woman Thou Art Loosed series. This one goes above and beyond its predecessor in quality and message. Directed by trailblazer and award-winning filmmaker Neema Barnette, WTAL: On The 7th Day boasts an amazing ensemble of talented actors, with notable performances from Blair Underwood, Sharon Leal, Pam Grier, Nicoye Banks, Nicole Beharie, and Reed R. McCants. Each serves the audience true to life suspense, and emotion! When David and Kari Ames's daughter goes missing, this who-done-it masterfully unfolds and keeps the audience on the edge of their seats! WTAL: On the 7th Day is not only a testament of faith, but a balanced examination of the human spirit, as well as the complexities of perception, and self-imposed condemnation. The biblical scripture, "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" is absolutely fitting. However, this is not a preachy film. Director Barnette orchestrates this drama/thriller with vigor and eloquence. She delves into the role power plays in searching for the missing, the true grit of relationships, and the wickedness of deception, against a New Orleans backdrop beautifully captured by DP Keith L. Smith. This film is a must see! You will leave the theater full, yet wanting more!
