Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story

In Theaters October 7

Everest Academy is proud to share that former Semper Altius Award recipient Kevin Matthews is the subject of a powerful new documentary, Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story.

The film tells Kevin’s remarkable journey from his rise as a nationally recognized Chicago radio personality in the 1980s and ’90s, through the challenges of illness and loss, to a profound moment of faith after discovering a broken statue of the Virgin Mary. Calling himself “Mary’s Roadie,” Kevin now shares a message of hope and inspiration that continues to touch countless lives.

🎥 Broken Mary will be in theaters nationwide one night only – Tuesday, October 7.
