The Promise shares the powerful true story of Miguel and Laura Lopez, missionaries who left behind comfort and success to bring the hope of the gospel to the remote jungles of Papua, Indonesia. Raised in Colombia, Miguel pursued dentistry with dreams of wealth, while Laura returned to the mission field as a teacher. But God had bigger plans. Together, they faced near-death illness, spiritual warfare, and deep cultural challenges—yet witnessed incredible transformation as the love of Christ reached places it had never gone before. From training locals in dental care to rescuing vulnerable children and sharing the gospel in unreached villages, their story is a raw and inspiring look at what happens when ordinary people say “yes” to an extraordinary God. A story of sacrifice, healing, and hope—this is The Promise.
The film explores Bogut's storied career, from his time growing up in Melbourne, his rise through the University of Utah, and the ups and downs of an NBA career that featured everything from a championship to career-defining injuries. It all culminates in the next phase of Bogut's basketball journey, which will be his first stint on the sidelines, as an assistant coach with the Sydney Kings. What's unique, though, is that it's a documentary driven by Longley. Bogut visits Longley's large but minimalist, reception-less sanctuary in Denmark, Western Australia -- about a five-hour drive south of Perth -- giving the audience the opportunity to see two of the country's most successful sporting exports in as stripped back an environment that exists in Australia.
