A young man’s legacy brings a town together in “Live Like That,” an upcoming film from Sony AFFIRM and Mucho Mas Media. The movie, based on a true story and starring Esai Morales, Roselyn Sanchez and Cameron Arnett, will release exclusively in theaters nationwide on Feb. 26, 2027.
“Live Like That” is based on an inspiring true story about a family whose faith is tested by an unimaginable loss, and what they choose to do next. In the midst of grief, they make a surprising decision. Instead of responding with anger, they choose forgiveness and set out to help heal a divided community. What begins as private heartbreak becomes a broader movement of hope and connection, showing how faith, love, and unity can bring light even to the darkest moments. “Live Like That” is written and directed by Dito Montiel and produced by Javier Chapa.
“This is a deeply moving story about forgiveness and the kind of love that can transform a family and community,” said producer Javier Chapa. “It speaks to the healing power of faith, and we are proud to partner with AFFIRM Films to bring this remarkable true story to audiences worldwide.”
“Live Like That” stars Esai Morales (“Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning”), Roselyn Sanchez (“Act of Valor”), Cameron Arnett (“The Forge”), Ian Casselberry (“The Odyssey”), Richard Cabral (“End of Watch”), Carlos Pratts (“McFarland, USA”), and Jesse Garcia (“Flamin’ Hot”).
“’Live Like That’ is a story that invites audiences to reflect on the importance of unity, grace, and the people who lift us during life’s most difficult moments,” said Head of AFFIRM Films, Rich Peluso. “We are proud to bring this film to theaters and share its message of enduring hope and the power of faith.”
“What drew me to this story was how deeply real and emotionally honest it felt. Live Like That is about a family facing devastating loss, but it’s also about resilience and the choice to bring light into darkness. That emotional truth is what made me want to tell this story,” said director Dito Montiel.
“Live Like That” will release Feb. 26, 2027 from Sony AFFIRM Films and Mucho Mas Media.
