The story line…

The story starts with Bart Millard’s childhood. He came from a home with an abusive father. At the age of 10, Millard was dropped off at a Christian camp by his mother. Things started to radically change when he returned home and found out his mother left him. He was then left under the custody of his father.

While dating Shannon, Millard joined a football team. Unfortunately, he met a serious injury that caused him to stop playing. He signed up for music class and started acting on stage.

One morning, Millard had a confrontation with his father, who was already diagnosed with cancer during that time. Bart voiced his gathered frustrations with his father. During the confrontation, he was assaulted by his dad and smashed a plate over his head. This incident made Bart leave everything including his girlfriend Shannon. He went to seek his fortune in the city after graduation.

A lot of trials went on Millard’s journey including joining the band “Mercy Me,” where he wrote the Christian top selling song, “I Can Only Imagine.” The highlight of the movie was his reconciliation with his father, and later on, reunited with Shannon.

Below is another video of MercyMe’s live rendition of “I Can Only Imagine.”
