Flywheel: Ignition of the Soul

The film that launched the Kendrick Brothers into becoming some of the leading faith-based filmmakers in the world for the last two decades, Flywheel, has been reimagined by Brazilian filmmakers under the Kendricks’ direct guidance. The project emerged out of the Kendrick Brothers’ growing impact in Brazil. Their 2024 film, The Forge, opened in the Brazilian market at #1 and greatly exceeded box-office expectations. While promoting The Forge release, Alex and Stephen Kendrick connected with leaders across the country who expressed a growing need for locally rooted, faith-driven content. From those conversations, a Brazilian FLYWHEEL remake was born. Set in Rio de Janeiro, the new film FLYWHEEL: IGNITION OF THE SOUL follows Noah Silva, a smooth-talking, used-car salesman whose “do whatever it takes” approach to business and life begins to unravel at home and at work. After a series of wake-up calls, Noah is forced to confront the cost of his choices. He begins a difficult and deeply personal journey to restore his integrity while trying to win back the hearts of his wife and son. Filmed on location in Brazil, FLYWHEEL: IGNITION OF THE SOUL was produced in Portuguese and will be dubbed and subtitled in English for North American audiences.
