Anything Is Possible (film)

Nathan was devastated to hear that his mother, Army lieutenant Margaret Peters, was missing after a rescue mission in Japan. Back in Detroit, the news came as a shock to him, and he struggled to come to terms with it. To make matters worse, he discovers that his father, George, isn't his biological father. Due to this and his mother's long absence, Child Care Services came knocking at their door. Afraid of being taken away, Nathan splits before his father can explain. While George goes looking for him, Nathan takes to the streets of Detroit. There, he encounters Captain Miles, a homeless Iraq War veteran. It was, at first, unclear what Captain Miles' intention was with Nathan, but the veteran ultimately tricks him into seeking shelter at the home of Evelyn Strasser. This wealthy philanthropist finds out that her daughter Jesse has been hiding Nathan in the basement. Evelyn reunites Nathan with George, but not before discovering that Nathan is a musical prodigy. Unfortunately, the reunion is short-lived until Child Care Services can sort out the mess. In the meantime, the state will take custody of Nathan. This means that Nathan still has to go to the orphanage. The orphanage has its own set of problems as it is going to be closed soon due to a lack of funds. When the children learned about this, they decided to do some fundraising via a concert. They go all out to market their newly-founded musical prodigy via flyers that promise a sterling performance, and indeed, on the big day, Nathan raised both the roof and enough funds to support the orphanage. The icing on the cake was when Nathan's mother turned out to be alive after all and was reunited with her family.

One critic gave the film three stars,[2] which according to their ratings mean that it is just fine and solid.[3] The Dove Foundation gave the film five Doves, their highest rating as well as their Family Approved For All Ages seal, which means that it is an entertaining story that is suitable for the entire family.[4] They also stated that Young Ethan Bortnick is similar to Nathan in terms of their capabilities.
