Supreme Jones, better known as DJ Preme, is a young and successful disk jockey with an even brighter future ahead of him. Most prominent DJs are well into their 40s, and though he is only 29-years-old, Preme has actually been DJing for over a decade. Preme has plenty of experience going on tour with various music artists in order to personally DJ for them, but lately he’s been focusing on performing as a club DJ. Preme had been forced to cut back on tours, even before the impact of Covid-19, after his now 3-year-old daughter was born. Once the pandemic erupted, things slowed down even more for Preme. Lately, Preme has tried to capitalize on a few events in order to continue making money.

DJ Preme has done many events for Ciroc since 2012. DJ Quicksilva is also a Ciroc boy, and he indirectly aided Preme in becoming one. Quicksilva introduced Preme to a few important people, and ultimately Preme did a show which allowed him to meet Sean “Diddy” Combs for the first time. During this show and in the middle of Preme’s set, Diddy asked Preme to hand over the microphone. Preme responded that if Diddy wanted the microphone then he would have to certify Preme as a Ciroc boy and sponsor him. Diddy then responded that he needed to see what Preme could do, and the two began to laugh and joke around with one another. Preme handed Diddy the microphone, and as Diddy finally tried to return it a shooting incident occurred in the club. Everyone was rushed out of the club after shots were fired. Most of the people lounging in the DJ booth at the time were part of Diddy’s team; therefore, Preme retreated with some of Diddy’s close associates after the shooting, and he has maintained a good relationship with them ever since. Preme has now DJ’d all of the after parties that Diddy hosted for Floyd Mayweather’s fights in Las Vegas. DJ Preme has even done the BET Awards a few times.

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.
