Out of the Ashes: C.T. Studd Cricketer and Missionary. This multi award winning docudrama tells the story of C.T. Studd who had it all. Born into a wealthy upper-class family in England, he studied at prestigious schools, including Cambridge University, and went on to become one of the country’s most celebrated athletes. But Studd realised that fame and flattery would not last, and as a Christian, he sensed a profound calling to forsake the things of the world and live for the world to come. Studd described his zealous, uncompromising faith as “muscular Christianity”. He reached countless people with the gospel message and challenged complacent Christians to engage in evangelism. Today his pioneering work continues through Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ (WEC), the missions agency he founded in 1913. This docudrama explores Studd’s extraordinary life and teaching through expert interviews and engaging re-enactment scenes. Filmed in England and China.
