BASED ON THE POWERFUL TRUE STORY, A YOUNG MAN’S LEGACY BECOMES THE LIGHT THAT UNITES A FRACTURED COMMUNITY AFTER DECADES OF CONFLICT.
CULVER CITY, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Pictures’ AFFIRM Films and Mucho Mas Media announce the official release date for their upcoming inspirational drama Live Like That, releasing 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.
