English Summary:

Made for television and first telecast April 22, 2007 by CBS, Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness) is based on the true story of Kansas City contractor Bruce Murakami, played by Dean Cain. On November 16, 1998, Bruce's wife Cindy (Chelah Horsdal) and daughter Chelsea (Katie Pezarro) are killed in a street accident by drag-racing teenager Justin Suarez (Shiloh Fernandez). Despite the admonitions of Bruce's surviving sons Brody (Landon Liboiron) and Josh (Ryan Kennedy), and those of family friend Melissa (Julie Warner), the bitter, vengeance-driven Murakami hires attorney Erin Teller (Peri Gilpin) to see to it that Suarez is punished to the full extent of the law. But during the boy's trial, Bruce experiences an epiphany, and realizes that revenge is not the answer. Without tipping off the ending of the film (which unfortunately was telegraphed by CBS' publicity campaign--to say nothing of the film's title itself), it can be noted that the real Bruce Murakami is the founder of Safe Teen Driver Inc. Filmed in British Columbia, Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness was the 230th presention of The Hallmark Hall of Fame.

German Summary:

Das Fernsehspiel von Peter Hunziker, Cynthia Riddle und Oliver Goldstick lenkt zu viel Zeit von der Entwicklung von Murakamis Emotionen mit endlosen Szenen des wütenden und mürrischen Sohnes Brody (Landon Liboiron) ab, schlägt aber ansonsten einen vernünftigen Kompromiss zwischen Dramatik, Charakterentwicklung und der Wiederherstellung von Geschichte . Regisseur John Kent Harrison hält die Dinge flüssig, verhindert, dass der Film übermäßig durcheinander gerät, und bietet viele einfallsreiche Szenenübergänge.
