For the first time, film and television each get their own category, leaving this year’s Film Impact slate filled to the brim with eight movies that have been praised by critics and audience members alike over the course of the past 12 months. From inspiring biopics to a holiday musical and even a sci-fi dystopian thriller, the current ballot holds something for every preference and charts some bold new territory for faith-based films. While “War Room,” “I Can Only Imagine” and “American Underdog” are just some of the blockbuster hits that have previously triumphed in this category through the years, fans will once again determine which film will come out on top in 2024.
Hosted by Brandon Lake and Sadie Robertson Huff, the 11th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards will air exclusively on TBN Friday, May 31, 2024, at 7 p.m. CT / 8 p.m. ET.

“After Death”
“Is there life after death?” It’s an inevitable question everyone asks at some point in their lives. In “After Death,” science and spirituality converge in a series of real near-death experiences to probe the depths of this query. Scientists, Christian authors and survivors, whose lives have literally flashed before their eyes, come together to discuss, debate and explore the likelihood of life after death; and in the process, they invite viewers to consider the possibility that an afterlife does indeed exist.
“Big George Foreman”
“Big George Foreman” tells the remarkable story of the oldest and most unlikely World Boxing Heavyweight Champion of all time, George Foreman. As the film depicts, the dubious contender works his way out of poverty and onto a world stage. A comeback story for the ages, the Olympic gold medalist endures a near-death experience that forces him into a round or two with his own demons and eventually inspires him to become an ordained minister and an advocate for his hometown and the community that raised him.

“Sound of Freedom”
“Sound of Freedom” became a dark horse hit when it released in theaters on Independence Day last year and shed new light on the uncomfortable and highly nuanced subject of human trafficking.

After learning the boy’s sister is still enslaved, the operative risks his life and his career as he sets out on a dangerous, death-defying journey deep into the Colombian jungle to save her.
“The Blind”
Chronicling the backstory of “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson, “The Blind” takes moviegoers back to rural 1960s Louisiana. While Robertson is an outspoken person of faith today, his past looks vastly different.
