As the tagline proclaims, Greater tells the incredible true story of dreamer Brandon Burlsworth who set his mind to joining the University of Arkansas Razorbacks — and through great effort and commitment, accomplished just that. The odds were against him and nobody was looking his way. Even his peers saw an innocent kid who just didn’t understand why he couldn’t make it in college football, and certainly not the NFL. But as Marty Burlsworth, Brandon’s older brother and companion through it all, emphasized in an exclusive interview with The Daily Wire, Brandon made his football goals happen because he was relentless. When he set his mind to something, you better believe you were going to witness him do it.
Brandon’s exceptional journey came to an abrupt, tragic end when a devastating car crash took his life, shocking his hometown, the state of Arkansas, and the national football community. Brandon’s short-lived career involved true honor and character, and thanks to the new film, his legacy will go further and live on as a model for others. Along with Brandon’s rise, Greater equally focuses on the loss experienced by Brandon’s family, especially his brother Marty, and the questions about God’s goodness that are stirred by the heartache and grief.
