When War Room<\/em> landed in theaters Labor Day weekend, no one could\u2019ve predicted the low-budget faith-based film focused on prayer would ever end up No.1 at the box office. Fast-forward a couple of months, the film has now made millions of dollars, been seen by hundreds of thousands of movie-goers and started a prayer revival across the country.<\/p>\n

We had the opportunity to talk to director Alex Kendrick before the film was released<\/a> earlier this year \u2013 when he and his brother, fellow filmmaker Stephen Kendrick, were unsure yet hopeful about the reach and impact their small movie might have \u2013 and we thought it be a good idea to check back in with him now that the film is set to hit shelves in DVD form later this month.<\/p>\n
