Shay Bxxgie (born Shamus Goss jr.) has undoubtedly grown into a heartfelt public figure. The North Atlanta Emo Hiphop artist has been recognized for several attempts of helping those in need. “I know how it feels to be in hard times, and have nothing” Shay states. His first reach to help was his donation to the earthquake relief in Puerto Rico. Being Puerto Rican this tragedy hit home and he donated an undisclosed amount in order to help the families in need.

After donating he took notice that his fanbase started to take action as well sending in donations. ”I noticed people reacting to my involvement and also influenced many to donate as well, thats when I realized that this situation was bigger than me” States Shay.

After noticing that his fan base was following suit he began to promote more non-profit movements. He then donated to the Australia Red Cross to help out with the tragic Brush Fires. In his home town he started a bi-weekly program to feed the homeless solely, and financially from the efforts of himself; father (Shamus Goss Sr. Real Estate Agent and CEO of Team One Athletics) and Mother, Marilyn Goss ( Co CEO of Team One Athletics).

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
