Dr. Myles Munroe during an interview for "The Black Moses"
|
Bahamian filmmaker, Travolta Cooper, the writer and director of
The Black Moses, is about to begin production on "Myles" a documentary feature about the life and times of Dr. Myles Munroe, a Bahamian evangelist and ordained Pentecostal minister who founded and led the Bahamas Faith Ministries International and Myles Munroe International. Munroe died with his wife and 8 others in a private plane crash on November 9th, 2014.
The film's shoot locations will span the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and six continents. "His impact was epic, and many people still don't know this, and so we're interested in chronicling that story," said Cooper. "He was the world's most famous Bahamian. He was arguably the most influential and global statesman that our nation has ever produced. Here's a man who never served in government, but was given a state funeral."
"Munroe transcended religion and transcended politics and time will see him in as a national father and icon. With his story you essentially see a government within a government in our country. Much like an Martin Luther King was within the United States."
"I interviewed Dr. Munroe for my last documentary
The Black Moses. Of course I had no idea at the time that he would be the subject of my next documentary film. His story, in many ways, feels like a sequel to the
The Black Moses."
Cooper just released this video featuring a
powerul message from Myles Munroe. The interview was done during the filming of
The Black Moses.
Myles Munroe was known for impacting the lives of those he came into contact with. He was a father, pastor, preacher, author and motivational speaker who
traveled round the world pulling a crowds of around 500,000 people
annually including governments leaders, business men and women,
students and church congregations in the past forty years. Munroe also
served as a business consultant to Fortune 500 companies and
corporations.
