Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of Christian drama on social transformation through an analysis of two prominent Mount Zion Film Productions (MZFP) movies: Last Man Standing and Legion. Anchored on the Cultivation Theory by George Gerbner, which suggests that long-term exposure to media content can shape individuals' perceptions of reality, influencing their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, the study explores how MZFP effectively utilizes storytelling to address contemporary issues and promote Christian values. Through a thematic analysis encompassing faith, redemption, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and ethical dilemmas, the paper examines how these films engage audiences in thought-provoking reflections on Christian principles and societal challenges. Furthermore, it investigates how the films raise awareness, challenge stigmas, promote dialogue, advocate for change, and celebrate virtues while condemning vices. By comparing and contrasting the thematic elements and societal impact of Last Man Standing and Legion, this study offers insights into the potential of Christian drama to influence perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors within society. Ultimately, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of film as a medium for fostering social consciousness and spiritual renewal in contemporary culture.
